This study aims to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing-based family planning counseling on attitudes and intentions toward modern contraceptive methods among women currently using traditional contraceptive methods. Despite the widespread use of traditional methods in many regions, including Turkey, modern contraceptive methods remain underutilized, leading to increased unintended pregnancies and related health burdens. Motivational interviewing is a client-centered counseling approach that supports individuals in making informed health decisions. By providing tailored counseling, this study seeks to improve women's awareness and motivation to adopt effective modern contraceptive methods, ultimately enhancing reproductive health outcomes. The findings are expected to contribute valuable insights for healthcare providers to improve family planning services and support women's reproductive choices.
