“…It could also be argued that their anxiety level increased on account of the fact that they are the most affected group in terms of the physical, psychological, economic, and social effects of this pandemic. Higher levels of anxiety lead to a higher risk of anxiety disorders 11 …”

Purpose This study aims to compare the anxiety levels of COVID‐19 patients, individuals under quarantine, and healthy individuals in society. Design and Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted from May 25, 2020 to June 25, 2020 in a city located in the northwest of Turkey. The data were collected using a personal information form, the Beck Anxiety Scale, administered in face‐to‐face interviews, and online questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kruskal–Wallis, Mann–Whitney U , and logistic regression analyses. Findings The anxiety level of individuals under quarantine (Median: min–max = 1: 0–55) was significantly lower statistically compared to that of the rest of the society (Median: min–max = 6: 0–63) and hospitalized COVID‐19 patients (Median: min–max = 5: 0–42) ( p = 0.0001). Female gender, being 61 years of age and older, having psychiatric and chronic illnesses, and experiencing disrupted sleep patterns were determined to be the factors associated with high levels of anxiety. Practice Implications This study found that society in general and hospitalized COVID‐19 patients had high anxiety levels. The study results can be useful for creating training and population‐based screening programs to control the anxiety of individuals under quarantine, hospitalized COVID‐19 patients, and the rest of the society during the pandemic. Additionally, the finding from this study on groups at risk for anxiety will provide important data for future research on this subject and for the planning of health services offered to these groups.

“…Measured anxiety level is divided into four major groups based on the scores achieved: 0-8 for negligible anxiety, 8-15 for mild/low-evel anxiety, 16-25 for moderate/medium-level anxiety, 26-63 for high level anxiety ( 14 ). The Turkish version of the scale was shown to be valid and reliable ( 15 ).…”

Objective: COVID-19 pandemic has put a tremendous amount of stress on people, which can negatively affect nursing. Previous studies showed that perceived stress and cortisol levels in the postpartum period correlate with the LATCH scores, which is a simple tool to assess the pattern of nursing. Likewise, greater prenatal anxiety was associated with a shorter breastfeeding duration. We aimed to evaluate whether pregnant women were under extra stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic and if this stress affected their breastfeeding patterns and anthropometric measures of the neonates.Methods: Pregnant women giving birth to healthy neonates were included. Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were used to assess the anxiety levels of the mothers, and LATCH breastfeeding assessment tool was used to assess the nursing. The results of these scales and anthropometric measures of the neonates were recorded.Results: Only one mother showed coronavirus-specific anxiety. Therefore, further analysis was done based on the Beck Anxiety (BA) levels of the mothers. CAS and BA scores were positively correlated (p<0.001, r=0.444), indicating that coronavirus-specific anxiety increased with increasing general anxiety. None of the variables changed depending on the anxiety levels of the mothers, except for the % weight gain at day five (p=0.020, r=-0.248). Even though anxiety seemed to show a small effect on weight loss during the first neonatal days, percent weight gain results did not seem to correlate with the anxiety levels in later stages (first month of life). Furthermore, LATCH scores of the infants on day one were positively correlated with BA scores of the mothers (p=0.045, r=0.175). Conclusion:COVID-19 seemed to have no additional effect on the stress levels of the mothers. The more the mothers have anxiety, the more they may stress about the well-being of their infants, which can improve their nursing pattern.

“…In data collection, following a literature review by the researcher, four forms were utilized: 1) an information form containing 12 questions aimed to collect socio-demographic, descriptive, and aneurysm-patient-specific information (Dinç, 2018;Vurallı & Bolay, 2018;Evliyaoğlu, 2012;Clarke, 2008), 2) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), in which the patient is asked to measure feelings on a scale with two to three points like 'none' to 'very severely' at two ends of a 100 mm horizontal line, in order to convert subjective emotions into a numerical form that the researcher can measure (Yüşün et al, 2019;Cline et al,1992), 3) Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), accepted as the gold standard, developed by Beck and introduced in Turkish by Ulusoy, Şahin and Erkmen, consisting of 21 items (4 items anxiety mood, 3 items specific fears, 14 items autonomic hyper reactivity and motor anxiety related to anxiety symptoms, generalized anxiety and panic attack symptoms) containing short, simple and clear questions in the measure of anxiety (Peker, 2020;Alçı et al, 2019;Ulusoy et al,1998), and 4) the vital signs follow up table-type form, which was created by the researchers to monitor blood pressure and related vital signs.…”

This study, conducted on diagnosed aneurysm patients, in order to test the effects of progressive muscle relaxation on blood pressure and anxiety levels in the preoperative period, was carried out in a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test application. The data of this study were collected between January 2022-September 2022 at the neurosurgery clinic on 38 patients (twenty women and eighteen men) who’ve been diagnosed with cerebral aneurysm, awaiting a surgical operation, and have other criteria to be taken into the study. Pre- and post-exercise vital signs and anxiety levels of patients receiving progressive muscle relaxation exercises for twenty minutes in the preoperative period were measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Frequency analysis for descriptive statistics, and t-test analysis for blood pressure, pulse, respiration, BAI, and VAS scores in a single group were utilized. Progressive muscle relaxation exercises in the preoperative period for neurosurgery patients diagnosed with aneurysm have statistically significant effects in reducing the patients’ anxiety and blood pressure (p<0.001). It is recommended that progressive muscle relaxation exercises be used in the clinic during the preoperative period. A clinically important finding is the positive effect of progressive muscle relaxation exercises on patients' vital signs and anxiety.
