| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was conducted to clarify the fertility knowledge and own physical assessment of fertility among married women who wish to have children, in order to support them in achieving their reproductive life plans.
A questionnaire survey of 104 married women in their 20s to 40s who wished to have children revealed that while knowledge of the relationship between fertility and age, and the effects of sexually transmitted diseases and obesity on pregnancy was high, many participants were “unsure” about the details of preconception care, such as folic acid intake and the rubella vaccine. Interviews with 3 women who had been married for less than one year revealed that they were attempting to review their lifestyle habits in preparation for pregnancy. They were also aware of the difficulty of conceiving and fertility treatment due to their husbands' and their own conditions, but natural pregnancy was their ideal goal.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
有配偶女性は、妊孕性に関する知識や妊娠に向けたこころがけへの意識が高い一方で、プレコンセプションケアに関する知識が低い点や、不妊治療を意識していても自然妊娠を理想している点など、妊娠の先延ばしに影響しうる要因が潜在的にあることが明らかになった。有配偶という状況にあることで、妊娠への意識が高いという特徴を強みにしつつ、専門家からの正しい知識や助言が、生殖のゴール達成への後押しとなる可能性が示唆された。また、既婚ということで、自身および配偶者の状況の影響の大きさを理解した支援が求められることが明らかになった成果は意義が大きいといえる。
