Résumé
In the current study, the relationship between internet use, anxiety levels, and quality of life (QOL) of Turkish pregnant women was investigated. This cross-sectional study was conducted 623 pregnant women who were able to access the internet at home, at work, or on mobile phones. 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. Health professionals especially nurses and midwives should inform pregnant women about safe ways to access reliable sources of information.
