Methods: In this descriptive-analytic cross-sectional study, 196 men referred to one infertility center in Mashhad City, Iran, in 2019 were selected by a convenience sampling method. The study data were collected using a 20-item health literacy questionnaire and 5 attitude items towards infertility. The relationships between age, education, occupation, income, duration of infertility, Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), history with reproductive health literacy, and attitude were investigated with t test, ANOVA, and linear regression in SPSS v. 20 software at a significance level of less than 0.05. Results: The Mean±SD age of men was 35.02±6.06 years. Their Mean±SD reproductive health literacy score (3.2±0.3) did not show significant relationships with age (P=0.336), education (P=0.33), job (P=0.493), income (P=0.856), infertility duration (P=0.136), and history of ART (P=0.057). All attitude questions were not related to the education and history of ART. Attitude about surrogacy (P=0.011) and the possibility of separation of each couple in case of infertility (P=0.001) (P=0.015) for men and women respectively were different according to age. Most participants chose the answer “I don’t know” in the reproductive health literacy questionnaire. Conclusion: Because of insufficient health literacy of men about infertility, educational planning in this area seems essential.","PeriodicalId":17164,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research in health sciences","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88692282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
