Özet

This study aims to examine the changes in family planning methods and sexual behaviors after Türkiye’s earthquake and the effect of on quality of sexual life. The study involved a total of 272 women. The multiple regression analysis indicated that having a low educational level, starting to use traditional family planning methods, experiencing a decrease in sexual desire, and having sexual intercourse once a month or less after the earthquake, negatively affected the quality of sexual life in women. Health professionals are recommended to assess women’s needs for family planning methods after disasters like earthquakes.
