Abstract: Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of post-traumatic stress on mother–infant attachment among mothers of preterm infants. Methods: The study was carried out cross-sectionally with 107 mothers who had premature birth in June 2018-January 2020 in İnönü University Turgut Özal Medical Center. Research data were collected face-to-face using the "Mother Information Form," "Maternal Attachment Scale," and "Post-Traumatic Stress Scale". Results: It was found that mothers had high average scores for post-traumatic stress and maternal attachment. Post-traumatic stress scores increased as maternal age, infant birth weight, and gestational age decreased. A statistically significant relationship was found between post-traumatic stress and mother-infant attachment (p=0.017). Conclusion: A positive correlation has been found between levels of post-traumatic stress and maternal attachment.
