Health literacy as a predictor of family planning attitudes in young men in Ankara, Türkiye.

Sexual health literacy showed a weak positive relationship with family planning attitudes among young men.

• The relationship was statistically significant (p<0.05)
• The correlation was characterized as 'weak positive' in nature
• Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship
• The study was conducted with 370 young men aged 18-25 in Ankara, Türkiye

The regression model explained 20% of the variance in family planning attitudes.

• Multiple linear regression analysis was performed
• The combined variables in the model accounted for 20% of the variance in family planning attitudes
• The remaining 80% of variance was unexplained by the variables included in the model
• Descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analyses were all performed

The mean Family Planning Attitude Scale (FPAS) score among young men was 116.26.

• Mean FPAS score: M=116.26, SD=26.20
• Data were collected using both the Family Planning Attitude Scale (FPAS) and the Sexual Health Literacy Scale (SHLS)
• The sample consisted of 370 young men aged 18-25
• Snowball sampling method was used for participant recruitment in Ankara

Young men's attitudes and knowledge regarding family planning remain an understudied area in reproductive health research.

• The study identified a gap in research focusing specifically on young men's family planning attitudes
• The study design was cross-sectional, descriptive, and correlational
• Participants were recruited using a snowball sampling method
• The age range of participants was 18-25 years

Improving sexual health literacy may positively influence young men's attitudes toward family planning.

• This conclusion was drawn from the statistically significant positive correlation found between SHLS and FPAS scores
• The finding suggests a directional relationship where higher literacy associates with more positive attitudes
• The study design was cross-sectional, limiting causal inference
• The authors framed this as a suggestion rather than a definitive causal claim
