Introduction: Women are more likely to use herbal medicinal than men. Considering the importance of women's health, particularly in their reproductive age, which is a crucial time for healthy life cycles, the aim of this study was determine the predictors of herbal medicine use among reproductive age Iranian women based on of Socio-ecological Model.
Method: The current study is a cross-sectional study on 190 reproductive age Iranian women from Jahrom city that selected with multi-stage sampling. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire consisting demographic information and constructs of Socio-ecological Model (SEM). Backward multiple logistic regression was performed to examine the prediction of variables that explain herbal medicine. p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of the participants was 33.84 ± 9.66 years. Interpersonal factors (OR=1.30, p<0.001), and public policy factors (OR=1.20; p=0. 01) could explain 38% of variance of HM use.
Conclusion: Herbal medicine in reproductive age women is related to psychological and demographic factors. interpersonal factors were recognized as the strongest predictor of herbal medicine. It is necessary for health planners to consider comprehensive factors about herbal medicine use in educational intervention programs.
