 Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kadın ve erkeklerin gebelikten koruyucu yöntemlere yönelik tutumlarını ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Yöntem: Çalışma tanımlayıcı ve ilişkisel türde gerçekleştirilmiş olup sosyal paylaşım sitelerinde çevrimiçi olarak yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini 18 yaş üstü 434 kadın ve 107 erkek olmak üzere toplam 541 kişi oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Gebelikten Koruyucu Yöntemlere İlişkin Tutum Ölçeği aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda katılımcıların 80.2si kadın, 19.8i erkektir. Kadın ve erkeklerde sırasıyla en fazla bilinen kontraseptif yöntemler kondom 74, 70 ve oral kontraseptiflerdir 67.3, 53.3. Kadınların gebeliği önleyici yöntemlere yönelik tutumları erkeklerinkinden daha olumludur p0.05. Gebelikten koruyucu yöntem kullanımına ilişkin olumlu tutumun en önemli belirleyicileri cinsiyet ve kontraseptif yöntem hakkında bilgi sahibi olmadır p0.05; R2 : 0.099. Kadın olmak 12 ve yöntem bilme durumu 27 gebelikten koruyucu yöntem kullanımına ilişkin olumlu tutumu artırmaktadır p0.05. Kadınlarda gebelikten koruyucu yöntem kullanımına ilişkin olumlu tutumu evli olmak 27 azaltırken; partnerin üniversite ve üzeri eğitim düzeyine sahip olması 16 artırmaktadır. Erkeklerde ise yöntem bilme durumu 32 gebelikten koruyucu yöntem kullanımına ilişkin olumlu tutumu artırmaktadır p0.05. Sonuç: Araştırmada kadınların gebeliği önleyici yöntem kullanımına yönelik tutumlarının erkeklere göre daha olumlu olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kadınlarda medeni durum, partnerin eğitim düzeyi ve yöntem hakkında bilgi sahibi olma; erkeklerde ise yöntem hakkında bilgi sahibi olma ve sigara kullanımı gebelikten koruyucu yöntem kullanımına ilişkin tutumun önemli belirleyicilerdir. Toplumda erkeklerin de katılımının sağlandığı; kontraseptif yöntemlerin çeşitleri, kullanım şekli, yarar ve riskleri hakkında bilgi ve farkındalığı artıran eğitimler planlanmalıdır.
