AbstractIntroductionOutcomes of unintended pregnancies may endanger reproductive health. Studies have shown thatwomen with unintended pregnancies are less likely to care for their health promotion activities,adequate nutrition and their fetus’ health.The objective of this cross sectional study was to compareunintended and intended pregnancy outcomes.Material and methodA descriptive design was used for this study. A sample of 225 women attended to Tehran hospitalsin 2007 were included in the study. Participants of the study were selected by stratified samplingmethod. An information form was used to collect data. Its validity and reliability were achieved bycontent and test-retest methods, respectively. Pregnancy outcomes including birth weight, height ,head and chest circumference and Apgar score were investigated. Data analysis was done usingSPSS 15 and t test,2 and factor analysis.ResultsThe mean age of participants was 25.86 (SD=4.6) years and 28% of participants reported theirpregnancy as unintended. There was a significant association between unintended pregnancy andhead circumference, p<0.05. Although, there were no significant association between unintendedpregnancy and the other outcomes, these outcomes were poorer in the unintended pregnancy groupas compared to the intended pregnancy group.ConclusionWith regard to these results, it was hoped that the results of this study could emphasis on theefficiency of our data as a robust basis for future interventions regarding preventive strategies todecrease unintended pregnancyKey word:Sunintended pregnancy, birth weight, head circumference, chest circumference, Apgarscore*Corresponding Author:Marziyeh Araban, Social determinants of health research center,Ahvaz Joundishapur University of medical sciences and health services.E-mail : Email:arabanm@ajums.ac.irREFERENCES-Afshar M Delavar N Kinafar S (2004).
