Aim: This study aims to examine the levels of social support and state anxiety among mothers of children aged 0-18 years who were hospitalized due to COVID-19, as well as the relationship between these variables.
Method: This descriptive and correlational study included mothers of children hospitalized in the paediatric COVID-19 and paediatric intensive care units of a children's hospital in central Konya between January and September 2021 (n=250). Data were collected using a sociodemographic and introductory information form for mothers and children prepared by the researchers, in addition to the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-1). Data analysis was performed using SPSS software.
Results: Almost half of the participating mothers (43.2%) were aged 20-29 years, more than half (60.8%) had a maximum education level of middle school, and the majority (83.2%) were not employed outside the home. The mean perceived social support score was 59.41±19.03, with the highest score reported for the family subdimension (24.49±6.03), followed by friends (19.14±8.76) and significant others (15.78±9.16). The mean state anxiety score for mothers was 41.8±6.02. No significant relationship was found between perceived social support and state anxiety scores (p>0.05).
Conclusions: It was observed that the levels of perceived social support and state anxiety among mothers of children hospitalized due to COVID-19 were not at optimal levels. Considering these conditions of the mothers in the context of family-centred care, it is recommended to plan nursing interventions.
