Abstract:
Unwanted pregnancy is one of the most widespread problems for the developingcountries inflicting unfavourable social and economic side-effects. Severalresearches show failure in family planning programs as the main cause ofunwanted pregnancies. So the purpose of this study was to determine women’sattitude and practice regarding unwanted pregnancy and planed pregnancy.This cross-sectional study was conducted on 350 pregnant women in healthcenters of Torbat-Jam, who were selected randomly. Four questionnaires wereused for data collection including demography, conception, family planningattitude and practice.The results showed that the use of contraception methods was less in womenwith unwanted pregnancy (%27.2 vs%33.6). Fear of side effect in unwantedpregnancy and tendency to be pregnant in planned pregnancy were the reasonsof using no contraception method.The survey of the attitude toward family planning showed that the two groupswere significantly different in some aspects such as: using contraceptive toolsas if committing sin (p=0/024), enjoyability of having numerous children(p=0/005),number of children as a personal matter (p=0/055) and the protective role ofchildren in parent old age (p=0/014). The Findings showed that propagandationfor health education and family planning are fully inefficient and attitudetoward family planning is very poor. So researchers suggest designing a planfor changing attitude and improving health education.
