Abstract

BACKGROUND

Fertility rate in Iran has decreased by more than 70% in the last three decades. Continuous decrease in fertility rate will create socioeconomic crises for the country in a near future. A significant factor behind fertility behaviors is women's attitudes towards maternal and spousal roles. Such attitudes are mainly determined by social capital. This study aims to determine and explore of relationship between social capital and fertility behavior among female healthcare workers.

METHODS

This sequential explanatory mixed methods study will be conducted using the follow-up explanations model in two phases. In the first phase, a population-based cross-sectional survey will be conducted on 500 female workers recruited through multistage cluster sampling from healthcare settings located in Babol, Iran, and the relationship of social capital with fertility behaviors will be assessed. In the second phase, a qualitative study will be done to explain the findings of the first phase. Finally, the findings of the first phase will be explained using the findings of the second phase.

DISCUSSION

Understanding the relationship of social capital with fertility behaviors is essential to effective planning for the management of population decline. The findings of the present study will provide population policy-makers with helpful information.

摘要

背景

在过去的三十年里，伊朗的生育率下降了 70%以上。在不久的将来，生育率的持续下降将给该国带来社会经济危机。生育行为背后的一个重要因素是女性对母亲和配偶角色的态度。这种态度主要由社会资本决定。本研究旨在确定并探讨女性医护人员的社会资本与生育行为之间的关系。

方法

本研究是一个两阶段的序贯解释性混合方法研究，使用后续解释模型。在第一阶段，将通过多阶段聚类抽样从伊朗巴博勒的医疗保健机构中招募 500 名女性工作人员，进行一项基于人群的横断面调查，评估社会资本与生育行为的关系。在第二阶段，将进行定性研究，以解释第一阶段的研究结果。最后，使用第二阶段的研究结果来解释第一阶段的研究结果。
