Design: A cross-sectional descriptive survey design. Setting and participants: A web-based survey conducted between June 2021 to December 2021. A total of 102 nurses and midwives comprised the final sample of this study. Findings: The safety of COVID-19 vaccine was both the most common maternal concern (73%) and the most frequently noted maternal source of anxiety (79%) reported to nurses and midwives by perinatal women. Most nurses and midwives were knowledgeable of, held favorable opinion about, and perceived moderate competence in trauma-informed care. The most frequently provided practice was encouraging mothers to make use of their own social support system (82%). Time constrains and lack of resources were perceived as somewhat to significant barriers to providing trauma-informed care during the pandemic. Conclusions: Access to correct information related to COVID-19 vaccination is necessary to reduce maternal anxiety. Since perinatal nurses and midwives had favorable opinions concerning implementing trauma-informed care, successful strategies for mitigating the implementation barriers are essential to facilitate the provision of trauma-informed care during the pandemic.NursingCOVID-19 (Disease)Journal Articlehttps://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85142894629&doi=10.1016%2fj.midw.2022.103555&partnerID=40&md5=82e71420510e1a0f2245061074491961904047000003Q17131
