Аннотация

OBJECTIVE: Previous research indicates that attitudes to pregnancy and motherhood are influenced by social values, culture and religion. This study explores the relationship between social support and unwanted pregnancy among Pakistani women. This cross-sectional study was conducted at four teaching hospitals in Lahore in 2014.

RESULTS: A total of 500 pregnant women who visited the hospitals' obstetrics and gynecology departments were asked to respond to a questionnaire consisting of respondents' characteristics and the Social Provisions Scale (SPS). Logistic regression analyzed the predictors of unplanned pregnancy. Unwanted pregnancies were more likely to occur among pregnant women from rural areas, with low scores on the SPS 'reassurance of worth' sub-scale, no history of contraceptive use, and who already had at least one son than those with no sons.
