Methods: The sample of the study, which was conducted in a descriptive and correlational design, consisted of 208 students studying in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of the Midwifery Department of a public university in the 2023-2024 academic year (Participation Rate: 61.2%). Data were collected with "Descriptive Information Form" and "Fertility Awareness Scale (FAS)". Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis Test were used in the evaluation of the data. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 21.14±2.39, the mean age at menarche was 12.96±1.19, and the mean age at which they planned to have children was 25.58+7.19. The students stated that 9.6% of them had a family member diagnosed with infertility and 69.7% of them knew the current treatment approaches for infertility treatment. It was determined that 41.3% of the student midwives considered themselves at risk for fertility and the mean level of fertility anxiety was 4.36±2.09 (range: 1-10). It was determined that the variables of income status, presence of infertile individuals in the family and knowledge of current treatment approaches for infertility treatment had a significant effect on the mean FAS scores. It was found that there was a significant positive correlation between the fertility anxiety levels of the students and their FAS scale scores. Conclusion: In line with the findings of the study, it was determined that the fertility awareness levels of midwifery students were at a moderate level. In line with the findings of the study, it is thought that determining the fertility awareness of midwifery students will make a significant contribution to both themselves and the individuals around them in creating fertility awareness, preventing infertility and reducing its incidence. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
