Özet

The aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of Turkish men towards family planning (FP). The research was conducted descriptively and cross-sectionally with a sample of 233 people working in a railway factory in Ankara. The data collection form and Family Planning Attitude Scale (FPAS) were used to collect the data. The mean age of the participants was 43.53 ± 7.86, and 58.4% were high school graduates. The highest score average possible in the FPAS was 170, whereas in this study, it was found to be 137.59 ± 20.20. The men scored 61.00 ± 10.61 in the “Attitude of Society towards FP” sub-dimensions; 44.61 ± 8.20 in the “Attitude towards FP methods” sub-dimension; and 31.97 ± 6.90 in the “Attitude towards Birth” sub-dimension of the FPAS. As a result of the research, it was seen that age, education, family structure and social security affect the attitude towards FP.
