dc.description.abstractPurpose This study aimed to examine the effects of reproductive coercion and violence on women with unplanned pregnancies in Turkiye. Methods This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted between 2021 and 2022 with women who applied to the obstetrics and gynecology outpatient clinic. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Women Abuse Screening Tool (WAST), and the Reproductive Coercion Scale (RCS). Results A total of 380 women were included in the study. It was found that 18.7% of women had experienced reproductive coercion, and 17.1% had been exposed to violence. A significant difference was observed between scores on the Reproductive Coercion Scale and the Violence Scale (X2 = 25.173, p < 0.001). Spouse's alcohol consumption, reproductive coercion, residence, marital status, type of marriage, and pregnancy status together explained 27.8% of the variance in participants' levels of violence. Conclusion The study demonstrated that women in Turkiye experienced reproductive coercion during their reproductive years and that there was an association between violence against women and reproductive coercion. Notably, reproductive coercion and violence appeared to be significantly influenced by regional and cultural factors, reflecting variations observed across different countries and societies.
