Purpose: This study was conducted with the aim of determining the relationship between women’s attitudes and intentions regarding family planning. Instruments and Methods: The research in the cutting and identifying quality was conducted on women applying for women’s birth clinics at Kars Harakani State Hospital between October and December 2020. All women who were volunteer to participate in the research without going to sample selection were taken into the research scope. In the collection of data, a indicative information form, a family planning attitude scale and a family planning intention scale were used. The data was collected in a vacant room in the hospital with the face-to-face interview technique by surveyors after clinical services to women. In the assessment of the data, the number, percentage, average, standard deviation, Pearson correlation were used. Results: Women have an average of 113.93±19.90 points from the attitude scale of family planning, 5.08±2.25 points from the contraceptive intention scale. The attitude in relation to family planning methods and the contraceptive intention scale have been determined to have a significant relationship in a statistically positive direction between the total score average at a weak level. The result: the attitude of women towards family planning has been determined to be medium, and the intention to use contraceptive methods is low. As women have increased their positive attitudes towards family planning, they have also increased their intentions to use contraceptive methods.
