Background: There have been many voices highlighting the necessity of preconception care as a preventive approach to achieve better pregnancy outcomes for health promotion of mothers and babies. It is important to get preconception care for both men and women, as they play equally important roles for healthy pregnancy. Also, awareness and knowledge of men and women about their health are important factors for behavioral changes for preconception care.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of awareness about men and women’s preconception care and knowledge of the determinants of healthy pregnancy by gender. Our second goal was to compare men and women’s level of awareness and knowledge on it.
Methods: The participants were 500 males and females (aged over 19 years and under 49 years old) either living or working in Seoul city. The data collection period of the study was from July to December, 2017. An online survey was conducted using a panel of online vendors. Then the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 24.0.
Results: Awareness about both men and women’s preconception care was significantly higher in women than in men (p=0.004, p=0.002). Furthermore, there was a significant difference between men and women (p=0.00) in the total score of knowledge on the determinants of preconception care, including smoking, alcohol drinking, age, folic acid intake, and check-up for infectious disease (p=0.00; means women 8.20±1.95 and men 7.27±2.38). Significant gender differences were also found on some items, such as men’s alcohol drinking, men’s age, men’s check-up for infectious disease, women’s intake of folic acid, women’s check-up for infectious disease. The level of knowledge on men’s folic acid intake was the lowest in both men and women.
Conclusion: Based on the results on the analysis of gender differences in the awareness and knowledge about preconception care, it is necessary to develop and implement preconception care programs based on the gender perspective approach to make women and men equally share responsibility of the birth result.
