METHOD: The sample of this cross-sectional and descriptive study consisted of 377 participants aged 18-45. The study was conducted from August to December 2021 in the east of Turkey. The data were collected using the SocioDemographic Questionnaire, Fear of COVID-19 Scale, and Prenatal Attachment Inventory. RESULTS: The mean Prenatal Attachment Inventory total score was 58.20 +/- 10.61. The mean Fear of COVID-19 Scale total score of the women in the study was 24.43 +/- 6.61. In this study, significant differences in prenatal attachment were observed for age, education, number of pregnancies, pregnancy week, and number of children. Moreover, the fear of COVID-19 was detected as a statistically significant difference between the COVID-19 status and having several children (p < .05). CONCLUSION: There was a link found between fear of COVID-19 and prenatal attachment in pregnant women. Health centers were recommended to provide training and support programs to solve the fear caused by COVID-19 and improve women's prenatal attachment.
