Background: University professors, as educated individuals, analyze the country's pressing issues with a more profound and scientific viewpoint and work towards finding effective solutions to problems. Therefore, this qualitative research aimed to explain the opinions of professors at Lorestan University of Medical Sciences on population growth and childbearing.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a qualitative study with a contractual content analysis approach. Participants' views on the issue of population and childbearing were examined using in-depth face-to-face interviews. Coding, classification, and organization of the data were carried out after the identification of important parts. Based on similarities and continuous comparison, the classes were merged, and finally, the concept and content hidden within the data (theme) were extracted.
Results: The results of the study demonstarted that the professors had two positive and negative perspectives regarding population, with the positive view being identified as the main themes of "population as the axis of economic development", "population as a reflection of the country's military and defense power" and "population as a labor force and productive class". Moreover, the negative opinion included "population growth as a sharp rise in social problems", "inconsistency between welfare facilities and population growth", and "inconsistency between job creation and population growth". Regarding childbearing, the university professors also hold two positive and negative opinions.
Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of this qualitative study, the issues related to population growth and childbearing are very important and multi-factorial, requiring the interaction and effort of all institutions to improve the conditions.
