Amaç:COVID-19 pandemisinin gebe ruh sağlığı üzerinde yaratabileceği olumsuz sonuçlar ve tetikleyebileceği ruhsal bozukluklar, annenin genel sağlığı ve işlevselliği açısından riskler barındırmasının yanında bebeklerin fiziksel, bilişsel ve psikolojik gelişimleri açısından da risk oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada COVID-19 pandemisinin gebe ruh sağlığı üzerine etkilerini araştırmak ve psikiyatrik semptomların yaygınlığını değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya kendilerine e-mail yolu ile iletilen online anketi doldurmayı kabul eden 112 gebe dahil edildi. Online anket sosyodemografik form, COVID-19 ile ilgili sorular, Depresyon Anksiyete Stres Ölçeği-Kısa Form (DASS-21) ve DSM-5 için Travma Sonrası Stres Bozukluğu Kontrol Listesi ‘den (PCL-5) oluşmaktaydı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 31.06 idi. DASS-21 depresyon alt ölçek puanı 4.20 (±3.91), anksiyete alt ölçek puanı 3.75 (±3.50), ve stres alt ölçek puanı 5.68 (±3.81), PCL-5 toplam puanı ise 31.29 (±16.85) olarak saptandı. Pandemi sırasında COVID-19 tanısı alanların daha yüksek oranda anksiyete semptomları sergiledikleri pandemi sürecinde ruh sağlığı açısından profesyonel bir destek alma ihtiyacı olduğunu düşünenlerin ise daha yüksek oranda depresyon, anksiyete ve stres semptomları sergiledikleri saptandı. Sağlık çalışanı olmayanların ve pandemi sürecinde ruh sağlığı açısından profesyonel bir destek alma ihtiyacı olduğunu düşünenlerin daha yüksek oranda TSSB semptomları sergilediği görüldü. Sonuç: COVID-19 pandemisinin gebe ruh sağlığı üzerine etkilerini saptamak, erken müdahale yöntemlerini harekete geçirebilmek ve kanıta dayalı uygulamalar gerçekleştirebilmek adına önemli olacaktır.
