Previous research indicates that attitudes to pregnancy and motherhood are influenced by social values, culture and religion. This study explores the relationship between social support and unwanted pregnancy among Pakistani women. This cross-sectional study was conducted at four teaching hospitals in Lahore in 2014.
A total of 500 pregnant women who visited the hospitals' obstetrics and gynecology departments were asked to respond to a questionnaire consisting of respondents' characteristics and the Social Provisions Scale (SPS). Logistic regression analyzed the predictors of unplanned pregnancy. Unwanted pregnancies were more likely to occur among pregnant women from rural areas, with low scores on the SPS 'reassurance of worth' sub-scale, no history of contraceptive use, and who already had at least one son than those with no sons.
先前的研究表明,对怀孕和为人母的态度受社会价值观、文化和宗教的影响。本研究探讨巴基斯坦女性中社会支持与意外怀孕之间的关系。这项横断面研究于2014年在拉合尔的四家教学医院开展。
共有500名到医院妇产科就诊的孕妇被要求回答一份问卷,问卷内容包括受访者特征和社会支持量表(SPS)。逻辑回归分析了意外怀孕的预测因素。与没有儿子的孕妇相比,来自农村地区、SPS“价值肯定”子量表得分低、无避孕史且已有至少一个儿子的孕妇更有可能发生意外怀孕。
