Obtained 15 articles are eligible and 3 findings of the theme are sociodemographic aspects, socio-psychology, and health. The results of the review found that the motivation of women of childbearing age in deciding Unmet need contraception is to exclude children and limit the number of children.

Planning related to contraceptive use in the future is expressed by the motivation of contraceptive use plans at one time.
