Özet:

 Objective: Detected in Wuhan, China in 2019, the coronavirus, which causes acute respiratory syndrome, is a global public health problem. Studies have also reported that COVID-19 infection poses a high risk for pregnant women. This study aimed to assess the attitudes of pregnant women toward the COVID-19 vaccine and the factors influencing these attitudes. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 280 pregnant women between April 7 and November 4, 2022. Data were collected using a Descriptive Information Form and the Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccination Scale. Results: The mean age of the participants was 27.045.53 years. The mean score on the positive attitude subscale of the Attitudes Towards COVID-19 Vaccination Scale was 3.460.91, while the mean score on the negative attitude subscale was 2.640.83. Pregnant women who were vaccinated or planned to be vaccinated had significantly more positive attitudes than those who were unvaccinated or did not plan to be vaccinated p0.05. Conclusion: The study revealed that pregnant women who were vaccinated or intended to receive the vaccine exhibited more positive attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination than those who refused the vaccine or were undecided. However, vaccine hesitancy persists, largely due to insufficient information regarding the efficacy and potential side effects of newly developed vaccines during pregnancy.
