The Role of Social Media in Raising Awareness of Reproductive Health (A Field Study in Kut City)

Abstract

Social media plays a prominent and important role in family life. Its role is no longer limited to disseminating and exchanging information. Rather, its scope has expanded to include issues with diverse dimensions, such as raising awareness in social, psychological, and health fields. Women may have a share in these areas created by various social media sites. Educational programs in various directions target women, particularly those related to health in general and reproductive health in particular. There are specialized pages in this field that have had an impact on developing a culture of fertility and reproductive health among Iraqi women, and thus its impact on the family. This is the subject of our research. The researcher used the social survey method to investigate the facts of the subject, utilizing a questionnaire to collect data. The researcher concluded that social media sites play a significant role in spreading health culture in general, and reproductive health in particular, and that the majority of women rely on the health advice presented on social media sites and specialized electronic pages
