Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 367 pregnant women. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, the Climate Change Worry Scale (CCWS), and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). Spearman rho and Kruskal-Wallis-H Test were used to analyze the data. Results: The mean total score for the CCWS was 20.22 +/- 8.20. Significant differences in the scores for the CCWS were found for the levels of education, economic income, stated concern regarding climate change, and perceived effects of climate change for their location (p < 0.05). Significant positive correlations also became apparent between the overall scores and subscale scores for the CCWS and the DASS-21 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that climate change concern is significantly associated with depression, anxiety, and stress among pregnant women.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessWorryAnxietyStressDepressionPregnancyClimate ChangeArticle
