Abstract

Objective Reduced childbearing rate is one of the challenges in countries. This study aims to survey the attitudes towards childbearing in married people living in Bandar Abbas, south of Iran, and find the related factors. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on 348 married people with a child at least 24 months old referred to ten comprehensive health centers in Bandar Abbas City in 2022. Sampling was done using one-stage cluster random sampling and convenience sampling methods. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to survey the attitudes and reasons. Data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 26 using descriptive statistics and independent t-test and chi-square test. Results The mean age of women and men was 29±6 and 32±5 years, respectively. The results showed that 63% of women and 76% of men had a negative attitude towards childbearing. Also, there was no significant relationship between the attitude to childbearing and the variables of educational level, occupation, religion, and economic status (P>0.05). The most important reasons for the negative attitude or unwillingness to have children again included worry about the child’s future (72.3%), economic problems (64.5%) and lack of suitable housing for having more children (58.3%). Conclusion Despite the interest in becoming a parent, most of married people in Bandar Abbas have negative attitude towards childbearing due to reasons such as worry about economic problems in the future.
