Abstract
Pandemic-related pregnancy stress is a particular form of pregnancy stress that is related to feeling unprepared
for labor due to the pandemic as well as fear of COVID-19 infection. Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the effect of
online antenatal educational sessions during COVID-19 pandemic on pandemic-related pregnancy stress. Sample: A
purposive sample of one hundred pregnant women who attended antenatal care at antenatal clinics of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology at Mansoura University Hospitals, Mansoura city. Design: A quasi-experimental research
design was utilized. Tools: Two tools were used to collect data; A structured interview schedule was utilized to assess
the demographic and obstetric characteristics of the studied pregnant women and the Pandemic-Related Pregnancy Stress
scale was utilized to measure stress related to COVID- 19 pandemic among the pregnant women participated in the
study. Results: The current study results indicate that post-intervention pandemic- related pregnancy stress was
statistically highly significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion: Online
antenatal educational sessions during COVID-19 pandemic appeared to be a powerful tool to reduce pregnant women’s
pandemic- related pregnancy stress. Recommendations: Applying an online educational program for pregnant women
