Abstract
This study aimed to determine the anxiety levels of 540 parents, based on their COVID-19 experiences and views, and their effects on their children on online platforms between February and May 2021. The anxiety score of parents who had contracted COVID-19 or whose children had contracted COVID-19 was higher than that of parents whose children had not contracted. The parents' main concerns were related to whether they, their child, or a family member would experience COVID-19 complications if their children contracted COVID-19, hospitalization during the pandemic, transmission of the virus to children, and the long-term impact of the pandemic on children. Protecting parents' mental health is essential because of its effects on children's mental health. Therefore, focusing on prevention methods and providing accurate information during and after the pandemic to improve parents' knowledge is essential.
