| Summary: | This research was conducted to examine the relationship between family planning attitudes, religious orientation, and fatalistic tendency levels of individuals aged 15-49 in Igdir, Turkey. This descriptive-correlational research was conducted on individuals living in Igdir between March-July 2020. The sample size of our study is 384 participants. It was found that there was a significant negative correlation between family planning attitude scale scores and religious orientation scale behavior subscale scores, fatalistic tendency scale total scores and all subscale scores, age, and number of children (p < 0.05). It was found that there was a significant negative correlation between religious orientation scale total scores and the attitude toward family planning and attitude toward birth subscale scores of the family planning attitude scale (p < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between religious orientation scale total scores and all subscale scores, fatalistic tendency scale total scores, and predetermination and self-control subscales (p < 0.05). There was also a significant negative correlation between fatalistic tendency scale total scores and family planning attitude scale total scores and the attitude toward family planning and attitude toward family planning methods subscale scores (p < 0.05). We also found a significant positive correlation between fatalistic tendency scale total scores and all subscale scores, religious orientation scale total scores and all subscale scores, age, and number of children (p < 0.05). It is recommended to apply the study in larger groups. |
