    Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effect of being diagnosed with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) during pregnancy on postpartum depressive symptoms and infant-mother bonding. Method: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted in a city in southeastern Turkey. Using the purposeful sampling method, 210 postpartum women (106 had COVID during pregnancy, 104 did not) constituted the sample of the study. The data were collected through face-to-face interviews between 15 March and 30 May 2022. Data were collected using the mother introductory information form, mother-infant bonding scale, and Edinburgh postnatal depression scale. The obtained data were analyzed using percentages, means, t-test, chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, and regression analysis. Results: According to the findings of the study, a significant relationship has been observed between contracting COVID-19 and both the birth weight of the baby and the week of birth. Moreover, having COVID-19 negatively affected infant-mother bonding and increased postpartum depressive symptoms. Conclusion: According to the findings of the study: it was observed that the babies of mothers who had COVID-19 had lower birth weight, were born before the full term, mother-baby bonding was lower, and postpartum depression was higher in mothers.

    The study was conducted to reveal the cultural practices used in neonatal care as well as revealing the intergenerational transmission of these practices. This comparative and descriptive study was conducted between December 2015 and June 2016. The study sample consisted of 210 mothers, including 130 grandmothers and 80 mothers. Data was collected by the researchers with the face-to-face interviews with the mothers and analyzed by percentile and frequency. It was observed that 77.0% of the grandmothers cover the baby's face with yellow cloth for treating jaundice, 86.2% of them use olive oil for the infantile seborrhoeic dermatitis, 57.8% use breast's milk for thrush, 50.8% use powder to treat diaper rash, and 36.5% use fine-textured soil (höllük) for the treatment of diaper rash. 70.4% of the mothers were covering the baby's face with yellow cloth for treating jaundice, 77.8% were using olive oil for the dandruff (infantile seborrhoeic dermatitis) treatment, 37.8% were using breast's milk for thrush, and 57.7% were using medical cream for the treatment of diaper rash. According to the results of the study, even though the use of non-rational cultural health practices in neonatal care decreases, it is observed that their importance still remains.
