| description | Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between spiritual intelligence (SI) and attitudes toward fertility and childbearing in reproductive-age women.
Methods: About 199 women of reproductive age were included in this cross-sectional analytical study. A convenience method has been used for sampling. A 3-part questionnaire, including demographic information forms, SI questionnaires, and childbearing attitude questionnaires, has been used as a data collection tool. Data are analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and Mann–Whitney U-test, a multi-linear regression statistical test (P < .05).
Results: The mean score of SI was 53.18 ± 9.88, and the mean score of toward fertility and childbearing was 54.94 ± 9.43. The total score of SI and the total score of attitude toward fertility and childbearing were strongly correlated (P=.049, r=0.140). Significant positive relationship was between the total score of the attitude toward fertility and childbearing and the scores of the SI dimensions, including critical existential thinking (P=.035, r=0.150) and conscious state expansion (P=.034, r = 0.150). A significant relationship between the SI total score and children as the base of life’s score was identified when it was assessed about dimensions related to attitudes toward fertility and childbearing (P=.005, r = 0.197).
Conclusion: The overall SI score and the general attitude toward fertility and childbearing are strongly correlated. Consequently, the attitudes of women toward fertility and childbearing can be improved by counseling intervention and developing training programs regarding SI. |
