Abstract

Fertility, the most important factor in population growth, is affected by various factors, including pandemics. COVID-19 (CV) was a global challenge that spread rapidly around the world. This study aimed to investigate predictors of fertility desire during the covid virus pandemic. In this cross-sectional study, 315 women who visited health centers in northern Iran for vaccination against covid virus were recruited using convenient sampling. The participants completed the sociodemographic information, Fertility Desire Scale, and Fear of covid virus scale. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the predictive factors of fertility desire. The participants' mean age and marriage duration were 34.4 ± 6.7, and 7.3±11.5 years, respectively. It showed fertility desire among household women was about twofold more compared to employed ones [Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.96, p = 0.009)]. The fertility desire was decreased among more educated women (OR = 0.43, p= 0.035), women with one child (OR = 0.44, p= 0.030), and women with no infant gender preferences (OR = 0.53, p= 0.032). Fear of covid virus and any history of covid virus infection in the participants or their close relatives did not change fertility desire (P > 0.05). In conclusion, health policymakers should pay more attention to the potential effects of women's employment, their educational status, and their attitude toward infant gender preferences on fertility desire during the development of programs. Further research is needed to examine this empirical association on a global scale and its effect on trying to conceive.

COVID-19大流行期间生育意愿的预测因素:一项横断面研究
生育率是人口增长中最重要的因素,它受到各种因素的影响,包括流行病。2019冠状病毒病(CV)是一场在全球迅速蔓延的全球性挑战。本研究旨在探讨covid病毒大流行期间生育意愿的预测因素。在这项横断面研究中,采用方便抽样的方法招募了315名前往伊朗北部卫生中心接种covid - 19病毒疫苗的妇女。参与者完成了社会人口统计信息、生育欲望量表和对covid病毒的恐惧量表。采用Logistic回归分析评估生育意愿的预测因素。参与者的平均年龄为34.4±6.7年,平均婚龄为7.3±11.5年。结果显示,家庭妇女的生育欲望是在职妇女的两倍左右[比值比(OR) = 1.96, p = 0.009]。受教育程度较高的女性(OR = 0.43, p= 0.035)、有一个孩子的女性(OR = 0.44, p= 0.030)和没有婴儿性别偏好的女性(OR = 0.53, p= 0.032)的生育意愿下降。受试者或其近亲属对新冠病毒的恐惧和任何新冠病毒感染史均未改变生育意愿(P > 0.05)。综上所述,卫生政策制定者在制定计划时应更多地关注妇女的就业、教育状况和对婴儿性别偏好的态度对生育意愿的潜在影响。进一步的研究需要在全球范围内检验这种经验关联及其对尝试怀孕的影响。
