Abstract
In our study, we tried to investigate the determinants of women's choices about contraception with the aim of discovering whether or not there is a difference in their preferences before and after consultation with a gynaecologist. A total of 1058 women were enrolled. They were given detailed information regarding contraception and contraceptive methods. Subsequently, a survey which was made of 21 questions was administered. Contraceptive counselling significantly changed the contraceptive choice of women. However, influences from social media and friends, their partners and religious belief affected their contraceptive choices. Significant differences in contraceptive choice were observed when women were categorized according to their marital status, education level, household income, age, and number of children. Although contraceptive counselling influenced Turkish women's choices, there were still other determinants like social media and input from outside sources such as clerics and husbands, which should be overcome.
