Cross-sectional study assesses fertility awareness and attitudes toward parenthood among university students, indicating gaps in knowledge.

This study aims to evaluate fertility awareness and attitudes toward parenthood among university students in Chitwan, Nepal.
Cross-sectional analytical study conducted among university students in Bharatpur, Chitwan.
Proportionate simple random sampling of 415 respondents from March 15 to 30, 2024.
Data collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
54.4% of participants had inadequate or moderate fertility awareness levels.
Attitudes toward parenthood were significantly associated with age (AOR=3.54, 95% CI: 2.31–5.45, p<0.001), ethnicity (AOR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.07–2.60, p=0.023), and religion (AOR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.08–3.34, p=0.025).
Overall, university students showed limited fertility awareness and less favorable attitudes toward parenthood.
