Objectives: This study was conducted to determine refugee women's attitudes towards family planning and related factors. Design and Sample: Designed in descriptive and cross-sectional type, the study involved 555 voluntary Syrian refugee women in Turkey. Measures: A questionnaire and the Family Planning Attitude Scale (FPAS) were used. Independent Sample T test, ANOVA test, and Pearson's correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Results: A significant association was found between the average FPAS scores with educational status, income level, social security, use of FP methods, spousal support for FP, and training for FP in Syria. Conclusions: It was determined that the attitudes of women towards family planning were at the medium level, nearly half of them used a kind of family planning and received its training, and that their attitudes towards family planning were affected by their and their husband's educational level, their income level, the availability of social security, the type of family planning, the utilization of family planning, and spousal support. Based on our study findings, refugee women and their partners/husbands should be informed on FP and their attitudes towards and the barriers against FP should be investigated by further studies.
