About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing-based family planning counseling on attitudes and intentions toward modern contraceptive methods among women currently using traditional contraceptive methods. Despite the widespread use of traditional methods in many regions, including Turkey, modern contraceptive methods remain underutilized, leading to increased unintended pregnancies and related health burdens. Motivational interviewing is a client-centered counseling approach that supports individuals in making informed health decisions. By providing tailored counseling, this study seeks to improve women's awareness and motivation to adopt effective modern contraceptive methods, ultimately enhancing reproductive health outcomes. The findings are expected to contribute valuable insights for healthcare providers to improve family planning services and support women's reproductive choices.

Change in attitude toward modern contraceptive methods
Assessed using a validated scale measuring women's attitudes toward modern contraceptive methods. Family Planning Attitude Scale: The scale was developed by Örsal and Kubilay in 2007. It is a 5-point Likert-type scale consisting of 34 items. Each statement on the scale is scored as "1=Strongly Agree," "2=Agree," "3=Undecided," "4=Disagree," and "5=Strongly Disagree." The scale has three subdimensions: attitudes toward family planning in society (items 1-15), attitudes toward family planning methods (items 16-26), and attitudes toward childbirth (items 27-34). The attitude toward family planning in society subdimension scores range from 15 to 75, the attitude toward family planning methods subdimension scores range from 11 to 55, the attitude toward childbirth subdimension scores range from 8 to 40, and the total scale score ranges from 34 to 170. As the score on the scale increases, the attitude toward family planning becomes more positive.

The minimum possible total score on the scale is 0, and the maximum is 15. An increase in the score indicates a higher contraceptive intention.
