Abstract

This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practice of preconception care among women of reproductive age in Jordan. A cross-sectional study that included a random sample of 1,368 women of reproductive age (18–44 years) was conducted using an online self-reported questionnaire. Of the total respondents, 48.6% had good knowledge, 48.1% had a positive attitude, and 47.0% had good practice. Participants with poor knowledge were more prevalent in the 35 to 44 age group (37.3%). Participants with good knowledge had a more positive attitude (57.2%) and good practice (63.5%). Married participants had a higher negative attitude (82.9%). Participants with university education had a good practice (44.5%), knowledge (58.5%), and a positive attitude (52.9%). There were positive correlations between knowledge, attitude, and practice. Good preconception care knowledge was higher among participants in the youngest age, while positive attitude was higher in the age group 25 to 29 years.
