Impacto de la COVID-19 en el estilo de vida materno y vínculo de apego madre-recién nacido

Objective: To determine the impact of COVID-19 on the relationship between lifestyle and mother–newborn bonding in a Peruvian hospital. Materials and methods: An explanatory, descriptive–correlational, cross-sectional research was conducted with a population of 1,020 puerperal women and a sample of 103 participants. A stratified sampling was used to divide the study population into those with COVID-19 and those without COVID-19. The variables were lifestyles (including physical activity, quality of life, rest and sleep, mental health and social integration) and mother–newborn bonding. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, discriminant analysis and Wilcoxon test were used. Results: The study population consisted of 51 puerperal women with COVID-19 and 52 without COVID-19, out of whom 66.67 % and 55.77 % had a fair lifestyle, respectively. The first group (those with COVID-19) showed a good mother–newborn bonding (64.71 %), intense physical activity (62.75 %), healthy diet (84.31 %), adequate rest and sleep (54.90 %), good mental health and self-esteem (62.74 %), and high social integration (68.72 %). The second group (those without COVID-19) showed a fair mother–newborn bonding (55.76 %), moderate physical activity (62.75 %), healthy diet (69.23 %), adequate rest and sleep (75.00 %), fair mental health and self-esteem (63.47 %), and medium social integration (67.31 %). Conclusions: COVID-19 had a significant impact (p < 0.05) on the relationship between lifestyles and mother–newborn bonding. Rest and sleep were key factors in determining the impact of COVID-19 Objetivo: Determinar el impacto de la COVID-19 en la relación existente entre el estilo de vida y el vínculo del apego madre-recién nacido en un hospital de Perú.
