Özet:

 Aim: This study was conducted to determine the fear of COVID-19 in mothers whose babies were in the neonatal intensive care unit and to investigate the relati onship between fear levels and breastfeeding attitudes. Method: The study was implemented with 133 mothers in NICUs in a city in the north of Turkey between February 5 - July 5, 2021. Data were collected using an Introductory Information Form, the FCV-19S and the BAES Scale. Number, per centage, mean, standard deviation, independent t test, ANOVA variance test, MWU test, KW test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Before starting the research, study approval was obtained from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey Decision No: 2021-01-25T20_58_17 and ethical approval from the Ethics Committee of a university 04 February 2021818295.90314113. Results: The mean FCV-19S score of the mothers was found to be 20.205.56, and the mean BAES score was found to be 111.2711.28. FCV-19S scores of mot hers who were afraid of infecting their infants with COVID-19 were significantly higher p0.05. The BAES scores of mothers afraid of contact with their infants were significantly lower p0.05. A low-level, negative and statistically significant relationship was found between the FCV-19S scores of the mothers and their BAES scores p0.05. Conclusions and Suggestions: As mothers fears about COVID-19 increased, their breastfeeding attitude levels decreased negatively. It is important to minimize the level of negative impact on others and newborns from situations that disrupt the normal flow of life, such as pandemics.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, bebeği yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan annelerde covıd-19 korkusunun belirlenmesi ve korku düzeyleri ve emzirme tutumları ara sındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amacıyla yapıldı. Yöntem: Araştırma, 5 Şubat-5 Temmuz 2021 tarihleri arasında Türkiyenin ku zeyindeki bir ildeki YYBÜlerde bulunan 133 anne ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler Ta nıtıcı Bilgi Formu, FCV-19S ve BAES Ölçeği kullanılarak toplandı. Verilerin ana lizinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, bağımsız gruplarda t testi, ANOVA varyans analizi, MWU testi, KW testi ve Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya başlamadan önce T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığından çalışma onayı Karar No: 2021-01-25T20_58_17 ve bir üniversitenin Etik Kurulundan etik onayı alındı 5 Şubat 2021818295.90314113. Bulgular: Annelerin FCV-19S skor ortalaması 20.205.56, BAES skor orta laması 111.2711.28 olarak belirlendi. Bebeğine COVID-19 bulaştırmasından korkan annelerin FCV-19S skorları anlamlı derecede yüksekti p0.05. Bebe ğiyle temastan korkan annelerin BAES puanları anlamlı düzeyde düşük bulundu p0.05. Annelerin FCV-19S puanları ile BAES puanları arasında düşük düzeyde, negatif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı, bir ilişki bulundu p0.05. Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Annelerin COVID-19 ile ilgili korkuları arttıkça emzir me tutum düzeyleri olumsuz yönde azaldı. Pandemi gibi hayatın normal akışını bozan durumlardan anne ve yenidoğanın olumsuz etkilenme düzeyinin en aza in dirilmesi önemlidir.
