dc.description.abstractObjectives: This research seeks to explore the distinct impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnancy, with particular emphasis on how fear of COVID-19 and perceived stress influence prenatal management. Methods: The sample of this descriptive and correlational research consisted of 89 pregnant women in a province in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S), the Health Locus of Control Scale for the Fetus, and the Antenatal Perceived Stress Inventory. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to investigate the effects of pregnant women’s age, medical and obstetric risks affecting fetal health, psychosocial changes in pregnancy, expectations for childbirth, COVID-19 vaccination status, and recent loss variables on the Health Locus of Control Scale for the Fetus. A p<0.05 value was considered statistically significant. Results: The findings indicate that the fear of COVID-19 particularly lowers the focus on internal health checks and can lead to increased stress and anxiety during pregnancy. Additionally, it was concluded that receiving the COVID-19 vaccine has a positive impact on internal health check focus, thereby contributing to a safer and more controlled pregnancy process. Conclusion: These findings emphasize the importance of supporting both the psychological and physical health of pregnant women during the pandemic.
