Analysis of the qualitative data was done using a content analysis technique. Results: In the quantitative dimension of this study, it was found that the mean number of children (3.2 +/- 2.0) in the families was high, and the most critical factor that increases the number of children was low education level (odds ratio [OR] 5.2, 95% Cl: 1.9-14.3) in men. In the qualitative dimension of this study, it was found that the most common factors increasing the number of children were preference for male children, not knowing enough about contraceptive methods, using child labor force in agriculture, childcare being easier in an extended family. Besides, it was found that men perceive induced abortion as a sin, the crowded family as powerful, and their sons as insurance in old age.

    (Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Eroglu, Kafiye; Koruk, Fatma; Koruk, Ibrahim; Celik, Kezban; Guner, Perihan; Kilicli, Aysegul
    Objectives Population growth is an important public health problem with economic, social, cultural and political consequences. The aim of the study was to determine the reproductive behaviour and perspectives on fertility of women in Sanliurfa, the city with the highest fertility rate in Turkey. Methods The quantitative dimension of the study was carried out using a mixed methods approach in which 300 women were interviewed and a questionnaire was completed; the qualitative dimension was carried out through in-depth individual interviews with 14 women, using a semi-structured interview form. Analysis of the qualitative data was done using a content analysis technique. Results The median number of children was three (range 0-10). Women with no or a low level of education tended to have a greater number of children. Preference for a particular sex of child was one reason behind the higher number of children. These two factors were main causes of an increased number of children. Women with no or a low level of education (odds ratio [OR] 9.1) and women who expressed a preference for a male child (OR 5.9) had more children compared with other women. Participants regarded a male child as more valuable than a female child and that having many children strengthened the family. Parents regarded their sons as insurance for their old age. Having an induced abortion was perceived as a sin. Conclusion The results showed that cultural norms and values significantly affected fertility rates.
