description Research suggests a relatively sizable rate of unintended pregnancies in some subgroups of Iranian women, but there is no concise, standard scale to measure the pregnancy intention of Iranian women. Therefore, the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy (LMUP) were investigated. The Persian version of the LMUP was tested on randomly selected married women aged 15-49 years in the city of Ajabshir, East Azerbaijan province, north-west of Islamic Republic of Iran. The scale's face validity and internal consistency was examined and its construct validity was tested by exploratory factor analysis. The internal consistency of the scale was acceptable (Cronbach alpha coefficient 0.87). Structural indicators of the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure (0.85) and Bartlett test of sphericity (P < 0.001) verified interpretability of the exploratory factor analysis output. Applicability of the Persian version of the LMUP is accepted. Further investigation is needed to understand cultural norms that might influence Iranian women's responses to queries about pregnancy intentions. Les travaux de recherche suggerent que le taux de grossesses non desirees dans certains sous-groupes de femmes iraniennes est relativement important. Toutefois, il n'existe pas d'echelle concise et normalisee de mesure de l'intention de grossesse chez les femmes iraniennes. Par consequent, les proprietes psychometriques de la version en langue perse de l'echelle London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy ont ete etudiees. La version en langue perse de l'echelle a ete testee aupres de femmes mariees agees de 15 a 49 ans et selectionnees aleatoirement dans la ville d'Ajabshir, dans la province de l'Azerbaidjan oriental, au nord-ouest de la Republique islamique d'Iran. La validite apparente de l'echelle et sa coherence interne ont ete examinees. Sa validite conceptuelle a ete testee par une analyse des facteurs exploratoires. La coherence interne de l'echelle etait acceptable (coefficient alpha de Cronbach : 0,87). Des indicateurs structuraux de la mesure de Kaiser-MeyerOlkin (0,85) et le test de sphericite de Bartlett (P < 0,001) ont permis de verifier l'interpretabilite du resultat de l'analyse factorielle exploratoire.
