Men play an essential role in reproduction. They should be encouraged to involve themselves in birth control, particularly in developing countries, where contraceptive goals have not been reached. This study, carried out in Muş, Turkey, was aimed at determining the attitudes and behaviour of married men with regard to family planning (FP).
The study included 317 married men aged 20-56 who worked in an institution. Questionnaires were distributed to the participants at their workplace and collected after 30-40 minutes.
The use of FP was approved by 78.9% of the men, but a contraceptive method was actually applied by only 65.6%. Whereas 27.6% of the high school and university graduates had five or more children, as many as 67.4% of the men with a lesser educational level had such a large offspring. Nearly 60% of the men had been given information about FP by healthcare professionals.
Education has a great impact on knowledge and attitudes about FP.
男性在生殖过程中起着至关重要的作用。应鼓励他们参与节育，尤其是在避孕目标尚未实现的发展中国家。这项在土耳其穆什开展的研究旨在确定已婚男性对计划生育（FP）的态度和行为。
该研究纳入了317名年龄在20至56岁之间、在某机构工作的已婚男性。问卷在参与者工作场所发放，并在30至40分钟后收回。
78.9%的男性赞成使用计划生育方法，但实际采用避孕方法的仅占65.6%。高中和大学毕业生中有27.6%育有五个或更多子女，而受教育程度较低的男性中这一比例高达67.4%。近60%的男性曾从医疗保健专业人员那里获得过有关计划生育的信息。
教育对计划生育的知识和态度有很大影响。
