Abstrakt: Background: Electromagnetic waves are one of the factors that negatively affect reproductive health. Increasing knowledge and awareness on this issue is important for the protection and maintenance of health. Objective or Aims: The study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge of students about the effect of electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure on reproductive health. Methods: The descriptive study was conducted on 143 students who had taken the women's health and diseases course. The "Survey Form" prepared by the researchers in line with the literature was used to collect the data. Results: Students' age, gender, structure, father's education and occupation, and family income affect the level of knowledge about the effects of electromagnetic fields on reproductive health (p<0.05). Conclusion: Students' knowledge and awareness of EMF exposure is not at a sufficient level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
