Abstract
Önceki pandemilerde olduğu gibi COVID19 pandemisinde de gebeler risk grubunda yer aldı. Risk grubunda olmak başa çıkmayı daha da zorlaştırabilir. Bu çalışma, gebelerin pandemi sürecinde yaşadıkları zorlukları belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu, fenomenolojik ve nitel bir çalışmadır. Çalışma 33 katılımcı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında 10 sorudan oluşan görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Nitel veriler içerik analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışma verileri kodlar kullanılarak kategorize edilmiş, ardından temalar ve alt temalar oluşturulmuştur.
Katılımcıların COVID19 pandemisi sırasında deneyimledikleri güçlü yönlerle ilgili dört tema ve on iki alt tema belirlendi. Bu dört tema (a) duygusal yük, (b) zorluk, (c) destek ve (d) doğum öncesi izlem olarak belirlenmiştir. Gebelerin duygusal olarak etkilenmeleri ve zorunlu sosyal izolasyon, gebelik, doğum ve doğum sonrası dönem gibi desteğe ihtiyaç duydukları dönemlerde gebelerin kendilerini yalnız hissetmelerine neden olmuştur. Gebe kadınlar yalnız kalmak isterken, bir yandan da yalnızlık duygusu hissettiler. Gebeler doğum öncesi bakım kontrollerini ertelemek zorunda kalırken, bazı hamileler doktorlarına ulaşamadı. Gebeler en çok bebeklerinin sağlığı ile ilgili endişe duyuyorlardı. Gebelik sırasında sosyal destek konusunda ambivalan duygulara sahiplerdi.

DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY PREGNANT WOMEN DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC PROCESS IN TURKEY: A QUALITATIVE STUDY
Abstract
Pregnant women were in the risk group in the Covid 19 pandemic as in previous pandemics. Being in a risk group can make coping even more difficult. This study was conducted to determine the difficulties experienced by pregnant women during the pandemic process. This is a phenomenological and qualitative study. The study was conducted with 33 participants. An interview form consisting of 10 unstructured questions was used to collect the data. Qualitative data were evaluated with content analysis. The study data were categorized using codes, and then themes and sub-themes were created.
We found four themes and twelve sub-themes related to the strengths that participants experienced during the Covid 19 pandemic. These four themes were determined as (a)emotional burden, (b)challenge, (c)support and (d)prenatal care checkups. Pregnant women were emotionally affected and compulsory social isolation caused pregnant women to feel lonely during periods when support is needed such as pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period. Pregnant women wanted to be isolated, on the other hand, they felt a sense of loneliness. Pregnant women had to postpone their prenatal care checkups, and some pregnant women could not reach their doctor. Pregnant women were most concerned about the health of their babies. They had ambivalent feelings about social support during pregnancy.
