Özet:

The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between prenatal attachment and depression, anxiety and stress in pregnant women and to determine the direction, if any. In the study, it was also examined whether there was a difference between some personal variables and prenatal attachment and depression, anxiety and stress. The study group consists of 151 pregnant women who could be reached with the easily accessible sampling method. Data were collected with Personal Information Form (PIF), Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). Data analysis was performed using percentage and frequency distribution and non-parametric tests. In conclusion; It was determined that 88% of the pregnant women who made up the study group had positive feelings about pregnancy, and the levels of the DASS scores of the pregnant women did not differ according to their age. It was determined that PIF scores were higher in pregnant women aged 31 and over, the depression and stress scores of those with primary and secondary education levels were higher than those with high school and university education levels, and the depression levels of non-working/housewife pregnant women were higher than those of working pregnant women, and both PSI and DASÖ scores of those with their third pregnancy were higher. It was observed that as the PSI scores of the pregnant women increased, their DASS scores also increased.
