Examining The Factors Affecting Women's Family Planning Attitudes and Perceived Barriers to Contraception Methods
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the factors affecting women's attitudes towards family planning and their perceived barriers to contraception methods.
Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational study was conducted in a university hospital in Bursa with 382 women between October 2018 and October 2019. Data were collected with the Family Planning Attitude Scale and the Perception Scale of Barriers to Contraceptive Use.
Results: The mean total scores of the Family Planning Attitude Scale and the Perception Scale of Barriers to Contraceptive Use were determined to be 115.4±39.7 and 78.1±41.7, respectively. The mean total score of the Family Planning Attitude Scale was found to be statistically significantly high in women lower who were 33 years of age or younger, married, graduated from high school or above, had a nuclear family, had a high-income level, lived in the city center, were aware of and used birth control methods, received counseling about birth control methods, and had a planned pregnancy. The total mean score of the Perception Scale of Barriers to Contraceptive Use was statistically significantly lower in these women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Women's attitude towards FP was positive but not at the desired level, and their perception of obstacles to birth control methods was at a medium level. It is very important for health professionals to provide counseling and training in order to determine the perceived barriers of women toward birth control methods and to develop a positive attitude towards family planning in women.
