Abstract Objective: To analyze the contraceptive status and its influencing factors of women of childbearing age. Methods: From May 2018 to May 2019, 581 women of childbearing age from Hangzhou traditional Chinese medicine hospital, provincial maternal and child health care hospital and Run Run Shaw hospital were randomly selected in this investigation, and their status of contraception were surveyed by questionnaire, and the influencing factors of contraception were analyzed. Results: The average score of knowledge of contraception in these 581 women was 8.4±3.1 points. The regression analysis showed that the score of contraceptive knowledge of women was higher, which include that women with high school education or above, received contraception education, pregnancy ≥2 times, or their husband with positive attitude towards contraception (P<0.05). Among 581 women, 210 (36.1%) women had choosen condoms, 169 (29.1%cases) women had choosen intrauterine devices, 96(16.5%) women had choosen oral contraceptives, 56(9.6%) women had choosen female ligation, 7(1.2%) women had choosen male ligation, 12(2.1%) women had choosen contraceptiveinjection, and 31(5.3%) women hadn’t choosen any contraception. Those women with low contraceptive knowledge level had higher percentage of choosing condoms or not using any contraception. Conclusion: The contraceptive used of women of childbearing age is at a medium level, so the education of contraceptive knowledge for women should be strengthened. And at the same time, the contraceptive knowledge education of their husbands also should be strengthened, and the implementation of contraceptive should be promoted for reducing the occurrence of unwanted pregnancy.
