Objective: Assessment of Medical Group Faculties Students' Knowledge and Attitude About Infertility in Al Najaf Al Ashraf Province. Methodology: Descriptive Cross sectional study of 1366 non probable (purposeful) Samples conducted in al Najaf al Ashraf universities from November 8th, 2022, until April 15th, 2023, using 5 5 point Likert questionnaire to assess student's knowledge and attitude about fertility and infertility. Results: The majority of the study sample were studying in nursing college (22.04%), in the fourth stage (29.65%), females (69.62%), and only (7.32%) of them have a family history of infertility. The study shows that students' awareness about fertility was fair (65.3%) but had a positive attitude (93.12%) regarding fertility. However, this result is similar to students' knowledge about infertility, and it was fair (83.82%), while they got a positive attitude (90.63%) regarding infertility. Finally, it has been found that there is a highly significant relationship between all the study variables (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Most medical group students have a fair knowledge regarding fertility and infertility and a positive attitude toward fertility and infertility. Recommendation: A study should increase students' awareness and knowledge about fertility and fertility problems. Also, The Ministry of Health should employ mass media to improve students' knowledge about infertility.

Abstract: Violence against pregnant women is a significant public health issue globally, yet specific data on its prevalence and risk factors in Iraq is limited. This study aimed to assess the types and prevalence of violence against pregnant women in Al Najaf province and explore its relationship with demographic variables. A descriptive study was conducted involving 200 pregnant women at Maternal & Neonatal Teaching Hospitals, utilizing questionnaires and self-report techniques. Results indicated that a majority experienced mild emotional, physical, and sexual violence, with significant correlations found between violence and factors such as women's age, educational level, residency, monthly income, number of pregnancies, drug use during pregnancy, exposure to violence, and characteristics of their partners. These findings highlight the urgent need for comprehensive interventions, including stricter laws against domestic violence and public education on its dangers, particularly for pregnant women.
