Working women are rapidly becoming the norm today. They are uniquely exposed to psychosocial stresses created by their multiple roles and conflicting expectations. Imperfect or wrong family planning practices-including abortion-are among the main risk factors leading to high morbidity and mortality rate of women. The aims of this study were to identify the relationship between psychosocial stresses of working women and their family planning practices, and to find out the effect of work occupation on the choice of the different contraceptive methods. A total sample of 120 married women at reproductive age, without contra indication for contraceptives and having children at any age were conveniently selected from different occupational settings for the study. Half of the sample were employed women and the others were housewives. Two tools were used for data collection: an interview schedule and a questionnaire on family planning practices of the respondents. The results of the study revealed that women in nursing and clerical occupations (80.8% and 70%) respectively tended to use modern methods as I.U.D. and O.C.P. while women working as laborers (who have lesser level of education) were more likely to use traditional methods (42.9%). Women who were obliged to work in order to support their families were less likely to use modern methods (50%) than those who worked for personal satisfaction (85.7%). Women whose husbands disapprove their work tended to use traditional methods (61.5%). About three fifth of the sample who reported no adverse effects of work on their maternal role used modern methods. The economic burden of work was addressed by about half of the sample who reported using modern methods. A considerable percentage (43.3%) of working women had no time for recreation partly because of work and home responsibilities and partly due to poor spouse participation in these tasks. These women (61.5%) tended to use modern methods. The study also showed that abortion was generally denied by the majority (91.7%) of working women because of religious reasons.
