This descriptive study was aimed to evaluate the attitudes of the engaged men and women who are of legal age to marry towards gender roles and acceptance of couple violence, and determine their sexual/reproductive health education needs. It was conducted in two marriage registry offices in Ankara, Turkey. The study sample consisted of 740 participants. Data were collected by using semi-structured form, Gender Roles Attitude Scale and Acceptance of Couple Violence Scale. It was found that the engaged couples had educational needs concerning sexual/reproductive health; socio-demographic characteristics such as gender, age, education, residence, and income level created significant differences in the attitudes related to accepting gender roles and violence; and having an egalitarian attitude towards gender roles decreased the rate of accepting violence between the couples. Results indicate that premarital counseling is a promising strategy to support engaged couples' sexual/reproductive health needs, and increase their awareness about gender based couple violence in communities.
A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T O Ob bj je ec ct ti iv ve e: : The main aim of this study was to examine the relationship between prenatal breastfeeding self-efficacy and subscales of the Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool including positive breastfeeding attitude, negative breastfeeding attitude, social-professional support, breastfeeding control. M Ma at te er ri ia al l a an nd d M Me et th ho od ds s: : It was a descriptive cross-sectional study. Using a power level of 0.80, an alpha level of 0.05, and medium-size effect, the estimated sample size was 187 and the study conducted with 187 pregnant women in their third trimester between March 28 th and May 9 th in 2012 at a prenatal out-patient clinic in a university hospital. Data were obtained using the "Socio-Demographic/Breastfeeding Questionnaire Form", "Breastfeeding Attrition Prediction Tool" and "Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale". R Re es su ul lt ts s: : The mean Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale score was lower among pregnant women who had no previous breastfeeding experience (m=51.21, sd=10.33) than women who had. The score was also lower among women who breastfed less than six months previously than women who breastfed longer (p<0.05), while the score was higher (m=62.53, sd=6.42) among women who intend to breastfeed beyond two years than women who intend to breastfeed shorter (p<0.05). A positive correlation was identified between the Breastfeeding Self-Efficacy Scale score and the Breastfeeding Control Subscale score (r=0.494, p<0.05), while a strong positive correlation was identified between the Positive Breastfeeding Attitudinal score and the Social-Professional Support score (r=0.597). C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : It was concluded that breastfeeding self-efficacy could be increased through increasing positive breastfeeding attitudes and increasing breastfeeding control prenatally.
