Frequency distributions were presented for univariate analysis, and chi square test was applied for bivariate analysis. Results of the study showed that there was association between knowledge and dropout occurrence (p= 0.001).Motivation was associated with dropout occurrence (p= 0.001). The role of PMO was associated with drop out occurrence (p= 0.001). Accessibility was associated with dropout occurrence (p= 0.001). Family support was associated with dropout occurrence (p= 0.001). No association between age and dropout occurrence (p= 0.356), between sex and dropout occurrence (p= 0.156), between education and dropout occurrence (p= 0.453).
