Abstract

Objective(s): To evaluate the direct and indirect effects of different factors on FERTILITY using the PATH ANALYSIS.Methods: Data were obtained from the research project ''Evaluating the effective elements on the tempo and quantum of FERTILITY in Mazandaran Province in year 2000'', and by a questionnaire containing three sections (demographics, FERTILITY data and family planning). This was a descriptive-analytic study and sampling was performed by a two-stage random procedure. A total of 1343 families were initially included in the study. The research targeted married women aged 10-54 years. We used PATH ANALYSIS to calculate the effect size and 95% confidence intervals for the following set of factors: mothers' age, mothers' education, duration of marriage, age at marriage, and mothers' age at her first pregnancy.Results: In total 1137 women participated in the study. The duration of marriage showed the strongest positive direct effect on FERTILITY (r=0.428); the second strongest positive effect belonged to mothers' age (r=0.203). Mothers' education had the most powerful negative direct effect (r=-0.182). Mothers' age also had the strongest indirect effect (r=0.437), while mothers' education showed the greatest negative indirect effect (r=-0.153). All of the calculated effects were statistically significant (P-Value <0.001).Conclusion: This research illustrated the powerful effect of mothers' education on FERTILITY. There is a potential for effective birth control through modification of factors that have a strong influence on FERTILITY. It is difficult to change all of the factors at once, thus as a first step it might be better to concentrate on duration of marriage and mothers' education.
