Introduction: This study investigates the attitude of women of reproductive age in Isfahan province towards the population youth law.
Methods:This cross-sectional , Descriptive study was conducted on 300 women aged 15 to 44 who visited healthcare centers in Isfahan province in 2022-2023. Sampling was carried out using a convenience, non-random method. Data were collected using researcher-made questionnaires on demographics, fertility, and attitudes toward childbearing incentives. The childbearing incentive questionnaire consisted of 12 items, with a score range from 12 to 60. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22, descriptive statistics (mean, frequency distribution), and inferential tests such as ANOVA and Spearman's correlation coefficient.
Results:The mean overall attitude score toward childbearing was 39.8 (minimum 12, maximum 55), and the mean age of the women was 30.02 years. Economic issues were identified as the main barrier to childbearing by 37% of the women, followed by educational challenges for parents (8%) and medical problems (4%). There was a significant positive correlation between attitudes toward childbearing incentives and the desire for pregnancy. The highest correlation was found with financial support incentives (r=0.724, p=0.001), while the lowest was observed with the provision of free food packages (r=0.598, p=0.001).
Conclusion:The Family Support and Youth Population Law has positively influenced the attitudes of women of reproductive age toward pregnancy in Isfahan. This law, through the provision of financial and supportive measures, especially in reducing living costs, has improved attitudes toward childbearing. However, economic challenges remain a primary obstacle.
