Methods/Statistical analysis: The subjects of this study were 458 first-year students of a university and the data were collected from May 1 to May 20, 2019. The collected data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's correction, x² test, and multiple progress analysis. According to the research,
Findings: University students had 8.87 points for contraception knowledge and 44.68 points for contraception self-efficacy, showing low contraception knowledge and more than moderate of contraception efficacy. The relationship between contraception knowledge and contraception self-efficacy (r=.270, p=.000) has been shown to as positively correlated. The general characteristics that affect the contraception self-efficacy of university students were gender (β=.106 p=.023).
