    (Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2024-12) Baş, Kazim
    Introduction and aim. The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted human life. It is observed that a significant group affected by this situation are university students. Evaluating the psychological states of students during the transition to normal life from the pandemic period is important. This study was conducted to examine the perceived levels of COVID-19 anxiety, fear, and depression among university students during the descreased restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and methods. This cross-sectional study was conducted with 1170 university students. The data were collected using “the Introductory Information Form, the Fear of COVID-19 Scale, the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale – Short Form, and the Depression Scale. Results. It was observed that there was a difference between gender, class, education level, income level, having had COVID-19, and having a deceased relative due to COVID-19 and perceived COVID-19 anxiety and fear and depression levels among university students (p<0.05). Conclusion. During the COVID-19 pandemic, although restrictions have been lifted, students still experience moderate levels of COVID-19 anxiety, fear, and depression. Therefore, considering the factors that affect university students’ mental state, there is a need for services that support students’ mental well-being.

    The impact of baby care education provided to mothers in the early postpartum period on the maternal role and postpartum anxiety
    (Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2024-12) Özkoç, Melike; Tandoğan, Özden
    Introduction and aim. Baby care training given to mothers can help them feel more secure and make their motherhood role more effective. The aim was to determine the effect of early postnatal infant care training on the maternal role and anxiety in first-time mothers. Material and methods. The study involved 60 mothers of which n=30 were in a control group with treatment as usual and n=30 were in the intervention group receiving special training on infant feeding, basic hygiene practices, baby’s sleep patterns and basic care skills. Training took place in the first 8 and 24 hours after birth and mothers were followed up 5 weeks later. The “Barkin Maternal Function Inventory (BMFI)” and “Postpartum Anxiety Scale (PAS)” were used to measure maternal roles and postpartum anxiety at 6 weeks after birth. Results. Participants were usually between 28–32 years of age and were first-time mothers. Six weeks after birth, there was a statistically significant difference in BMFI total scores between the experimental and control groups (p<0.001), while the experimental group scored higher (89.8±11.01). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of postpartum anxiety. Conclusion. Significant improvements were observed in the anxiety levels and mothering skills of mothers who received training. It is recommended that similar training programs be implemented on a larger scale and their effects be monitored long-term.
