Fertility awareness and parenting attitudes among American male and female undergraduate university students

Abstract: Delaying childbearing based on incorrect perceptions of female fertility could lead to involuntary childlessness. Education regarding fertility issues is necessary to help men and women make informed reproductive decisions that are based on accurate information rather than incorrect perceptions.

“…This observation is in accordance with the BInternational Fertility Decision-making Study^and other studies that observed a modest level of fertility knowledge of participants and that participants overestimated the age at which a women's ability to become pregnant first declines, the chance to become pregnant under optimal conditions and the chance of conception after IVF [12,18,19,25,27,33,34]. Our study might have overstated knowledge gaps for some questions.…”

“…As an example, BAt what age is there a slight decrease in women's ability to become pregnant,^only those who responded age 27-29 were deemed to be correct. We based the correct answer on published information [12,27,29,34], but it could be argued that those who said 30-34 years [35] were also correct and certainly do not represent a concern in terms of having inadequate knowledge. That would bring the proportion of participants who were aware that a woman's fertility declines in her early 30s to almost 80 %, which could be interpreted as reassuring.…”

In several studies housing, economic insecurity, especially unemployment [53] and the lack of family support systems have been introduced as main factors for delayed childbearing decision making [54]- [56].…”

“…The majority of students expressed the desire to have children in the future, and their thoughts and feelings about having a child seemed to be shaped by culture. [24][25][26][27] In their study on graduatelevel nursing students' opinions about infertility, Tasci and Ozkan found that students' gender, the number of children they want, and their familiarity with infertile couples affected their opinions. 28 However, there have been no in-depth studies of factors affecting the perceptions of infertility in nursing students with a basic knowledge of infertility.…”
