Effect of the psychosocial adjustment program on midwifery students’ anxiety and psychological well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Dear Editor, During the COVID-19 pandemic, midwifery students experienced some problems, including moving to online education, being isolated from peers, and having household responsibilities and financial concerns1. They reported difficulty concentrating and learning, fear of infection, and worries about their family well-being2. They also experienced practical worries, fewer clinical learning opportunities, and fundamental doubts about their choice to become a professional3. Owing to distance education, students are less exposed to clinical practice and face internet limitations, economic difficulties, and mental problems such as anxiety and stress4
