Unexpected pregnancy is a problem that demands the attention of the entire world. The attention generally focuses on developing preventive and corrective measures. This descriptive study aimed to identify the factors that are correlated with protection against unexpected pregnancy among female undergraduates. This will be helpful in promoting prevention behavior. Data were collected on female students with a male partner. Data were also collected from those with higher education, where one of 370 people used questionnaires developed by the researcher (Cronbach’s alpha coefficient = 0.958). The results were as follows, in the “behavior” category, one can prevent unwanted pregnancy in four areas: by the use of contraceptives, avoidance, avoid the risk of causing pregnancy. Refusal-techniques. and sources of support overall is moderate (x̄ =62.35, SD=12.50). Behaviour also was affected by the perceived risk of unexpected pregnancy, the perceived severity of unexpected pregnancy and Perceived self–efficacy of protection against unexpected pregnancy. Family / friend/ lover support and school/ teacher support were correlated with protection against unexpected pregnancy (p<.01). So the solution to an unwanted pregnancy advice must begin with changing attitudes. Promote awareness on how to protect against unexpected pregnancy and get support from someone close. These recommendations cause behavioral change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
