In order to determine the socio-ekonomic status, health status, child bearing, previous family planning experiences and choices of contraceptives of women. Also a scale of self-care agency developed by Kearney and Fleischer (1979) and tested regarding applicability and reliability in Turkey by Nahcivan (1993) was used in the study. The forms were filled by the researcher herself during interview. In the statistical assessment of the data compiled, percentage, average value (x), significant test ( t test ) of the difference between the two mean values, the one way varience analysis among independent groups, Tukey and Man-Witney U tests were used. According to results of the research; Majority of the women were at the age of 31-40 (45.0%) with education of primary school (53.5%) and their partner, spouse, with education of secondary school (43.5%).

The score of self care agency was found to be high among those who as well as their spouses had a degree, those enjoying high standard of living, those working and those who and their family members not facing health problems. The average score of self-care agency in women was 101.6+17.2. A relationship was not found between their child bearing capacity and self-care agency. The score of self-care agency of those women using effective family planning methods was found to be higher than those not using ones. The point of self-care agency was higher in those who have knowledge on family planning, who contend with the method they used and who gave up used methods because of the side effects or deteriorated health condition. Recommendations have been made bearing in mind the results of the study. 94
