Background & Aim: Fertility is one of the most important phenomena determining population changes and fluctuations. Therefore, considering the population decline in the world, including in Iran, this study aimed to determine the effect of e-learning on childbearing tendency in childless and single-child women.
Methods & Materials: In this experimental study, two-stage random sampling was performed on 128 childbearing-age women without children or with only one child (64 in the intervention group and 64 in the control group) from four health centers in Marand County in 2023–2024. The intervention group received e-learning in four sessions (one session per week) remotely via the Eitaa messenger. The control group received routine care. Childbearing tendency before and after the intervention was evaluated in both groups using Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon statistical tests in SPSS version 24.
Results: The median scores of childbearing tendency in the intervention group before the intervention were 59.0 (range: 52.5-64.5) and one month after e-learning were 68.5 (range: 62.0-73.0). In the control group, the median scores were 64.0 (range: 58.0-69.0) before and 64.5 (range: 58.0-69.0) after the intervention. Statistical tests showed a significant improvement in childbearing tendency after the training (P<0.001).
Conclusion: The improvement in childbearing tendency resulting from e-learning can help enhance women's inclination toward childbearing.
