Background and Objective: The childbearing rate has decreased significantly in the last decade, especially in developing countries. Considering the importance of demographic factors related to childbearing intention, the present study aims to review demographic factors related to childbearing intention among Iranian couples.
Materials & Methods: This study is a scoping review conducted in five stages: designing the study question, searching electronic databases, extracting studies related to the research, tabulating information, and reporting the results. The search was conducted with keywords in databases, including SID, PubMed, Magiran, Irandoc, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Google Scholar, from 2013 to 2024. The quality screening of the studies was performed using the AXIS (appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies) checklist.
Results: After reviewing the literature, 380 articles were obtained. Finally, 15 studies were selected after screening. The related factors introduced in this study include gender, age, education, place of residence, religion, culture and religiosity, access to media, and economic issues.
Conclusion: Based on the study results, many demographic factors are related to the childbearing intention in Iranian couples. Considering the importance of childbearing intention, it is possible to increase it by designing interventions to weaken the negative and strengthen the positive factors.
