Purpose: The study aimed to determine the attitudes and behaviors regarding contraception of women with diabetes in reproductive period. Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 289 women with diabetes who applied to the internal medicine, endocrinology and metabolism outpatient clinics of the university hospital. The data were collected through personal identification form and Family Planning Attitude Scale. Results: In the study, 83.7% of the women reported that they used contraception method, and that they mostly preferred condom (39.4%) and intrauterine contraceptive device (19.7%). Only nearly half of the women (47.8%) were informed about contraception by health professionals. Women's age, education level, number of births, obtaining information about contraception explained 21% of the total variance in attitudes towards contraception. Conclusion: Although the rate using contraception was high of women with diabetes, many women did not use effective contraceptive methods. In addition, the rate of informing health professionals about contraceptive use is low. It would be beneficial for health professionals to provide information and counseling about contraception to women with diabetes. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
