A study on the relationship between internet use, anxiety levels, and quality of life of Turkish pregnant women
Abstract
Purpose: In the current study, the relationship between internet use, anxiety levels, and quality of life (QOL) of Turkish pregnant women was investigated. Design and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted 623 pregnant women who were able to access the internet at home, at work, or on mobile phones. Findings: It was determined that internet usage among Turkish pregnants is common (82.7%). Statistically significant negative correlations were determined between the pregnant women’s trait anxiety levels and all the subscales of the QOL questionnaire. Practice Implications: Health professionals especially nurses and midwives should inform pregnant women about safe ways to access reliable sources of information. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
