Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Background: The aim of this study was to examine the association between spiritual well-being and psychosocial health among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic Method: This cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 221 pregnant women in Turkey between November and December 2020. Data were collected using the Pregnancy Psychosocial Health Assessment Scale and the Spirituality Scale. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis (enter method) were performed. Result: The mean scores of the participants were 3.24 for psychosocial health and 105.92 for spiritual well-being. A weak but statistically significant negative correlation was found between psychosocial health and spiritual well-being (r = −0.234, p = 0.001). In the multivariate regression analysis, education level, employment status, and income level were identified as significant positive predictors of spiritual well-being, whereas knowledge about the effects of COVID-19 on pregnancy was identified as a significant negative predictor. Conclusion: The findings indicate that spiritual well-being among pregnant women during the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with sociodemographic factors and COVID-19–related knowledge, highlighting the importance of considering multiple contextual factors when evaluating spiritual well-being in pregnancy.
