Reproductive coercion, gender role attitudes and fertility desire among married women in Türkiye: a descriptive and explanatory study.
Article in BMC public health, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundReproductive coercion, a form of gender-based violence used as a tool of power and control in interpersonal relationships and includes behaviors that interfere with women’s reproductive autonomy, remains inadequately researched and understood in Türkiye. This study aimed to determine the relationship among married women’s reproductive coercion, gender role attitudes and fertility desire.
methodsThe research, which employed a cross-sectional descriptive-correlational design, was conducted with 480 women aged 18 to 49 years. Data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Reproductive Coercion Scale, Fertility Desire Scale and Gender Roles Attitude Scale. Analyses included descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rho correlation and path analysis.
resultsThe average age of the participants was 35.65 ± 7.39, the average number of pregnancies was 2.40 ± 1.41, and the average number of births was 1.97 ± 1.05. Women’s mean score on the Reproductive Coercion Scale; 0.10 ± 0.45, the Fertility Desire Scale mean score was 58.54 ± 9.67 and the Gender Role Attitude Scale mean score was 121.92 ± 15.14. A weak positive relationship was observed between scores on the Reproductive Coercion Scale and the Fertility Desire Scale (r = 0.172;p < 0.001). Fertility Desire Scale scores were positively associated with Reproductive Coercion Scale scores (β = 0.205, p = 0.008).
conclusionsThe women participating in the research have low reproductive coercion, moderate fertility desire and egalitarian attitudes towards gender roles. A weak but statistically significant positive association was observed between reproductive coercion and both fertility desire and gender role attitudes.
