The research aimed to exam the relationship between the knowledge of preconception preparation among adolescent women with age, levels of education, and family monthly income. A multi-stage sampling method was used to recruit the sample of 138 adolescent women aged 10-19 years in Muak Lek Subdistrict. Research instruments included questionnaires to gather data for personal information and knowledge on preconception for adolescent women. The reliability coefficient was .91. Descriptive statistics and Spearman’s Rank correlation Coefficients were used to analyze the data.
The results showed that age, levels of education, and family monthly income were positively correlated with knowledge of preconception preparation at significant level 0.05. (r=.459, p <0.001, r=.438, p <0.001, และ r=.212, p <0.05 respectively).
These findings suggest that nurses should apply these results to promote knowledge on preconception among adolescent women for promoting health and safety to mothers and neonates.
