Abstract

The article examines the attitude of women to the problem and the abortion procedure and the organization of the work of the gynecological service to provide assistance in connection with an unplanned pregnancy. The questionnaires of women who decided to terminate a pregnancy were analyzed, as well as the qualitative indicators of the activities of institutions.

It was shown that the main reason for the termination of pregnancy was dissatisfaction with the financial situation (28.1%). 96.3% of women knew that abortion is fraught with serious complications. 48.6% of women prefer to terminate pregnancy by mini-abortion, 33.7% by medication. Less than half of the patients are satisfied with the quality of care for termination of pregnancy. Risk groups are adolescents and women of older reproductive age. 67.6% of the respondents need advice on methods of contraception. Satisfied with the quality of consulting 38.8%.

Along with educating the population about the dangers of abortion and teaching family planning methods, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for abortion, ensure maximum safety of the procedure, conduct rehabilitation after an abortion in order to eliminate negative consequences, advise on the prevention of unplanned pregnancy in the future, and select adequate contraception.
