Eco-anxiety caused by climate change, which is a significant public health problem, has negative effects on sexual and reproductive health, and these effects are expected to increase continuously. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between eco-anxiety caused by climate change and the fertility preferences of women.
This descriptive study was conducted between June and August 2024 with 491 women at the ages of 18 to 49 who were registered at a family health center. A personal information form, the Attitudes toward Fertility and Childbearing Scale, and the Hogg Eco-Anxiety Scale were used to collect data.
The mean total AFCS score of the participants was 66.1 ± 14.2, while their mean total HEAS score was 27.1 ± 7.0. There was a weak negative correlation between the AFCS scores and HEAS scores of the participants (r = -0.124, p = 0.006).
As the ecological anxiety levels of women increased, their attitudes toward childbearing became more negative.
气候变化引发的生态焦虑是一个重大的公共卫生问题，对性与生殖健康有负面影响，且预计这些影响会持续增加。本研究旨在确定气候变化引发的生态焦虑与女性生育偏好之间的关系。
本描述性研究于2024年6月至8月间，对491名年龄在18至49岁且在家庭健康中心登记的女性进行。使用个人信息表、生育态度量表和霍格生态焦虑量表收集数据。
参与者的平均总生育态度量表得分是66.1 ± 14.2，而她们的平均总生态焦虑量表得分是27.1 ± 7.0。参与者的生育态度量表得分与生态焦虑量表得分之间存在微弱的负相关（r = -0.124，p = 0.006）。
随着女性生态焦虑水平的增加，她们对生育的态度变得更加消极。
