Abstract

Background and Aim: In health promotion, Empowerment is a process through which people gain greater control over decisions and actions affecting their health. This study aimed to assess the predictive factors of health care Empowerment among Women in reproductive age in 2016. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 549Women in reproductive age referring to health centers in South Tehran. The participants were recruited through cluster and multi-stratified sampling. Data were collected using the Health Care Empowerment Questionnaire (HCEQ), which has three subscales, namely, Degree of Control, Involvement in Interactions and Involvement in Decision-Making. The data were analyzed using the descriptive and analytical tests and multi-regression analysis. Results: Husbandschr('39') education level, Womenchr('39')s employment, family size, ethnicity, history of chronic diseases and economic status were predictors of Degree of Control. Husbandschr('39') education level (under high school diploma and high school diploma), family size (2-3, 3-4) and moderate economic status (sufficient income) predicted Involvement in Interactions. In addition, husbandschr('39') education (incomplete high school diploma and high school diploma), family size (2-3, 3-4), Womenchr('39')s employment and history of chronic diseases predicted Involvement in Decision-Making. Conclusion: The findings indicate that various individual, family and socio-economic conditions of reproductive-age Women influence their potential Empowerment for receiving health care services. A family-based approach to facilitate receiving reproductive health care seems to be essential.
