METHODS: A cross-sectional study of trainee ObGyn was conducted by the World Association of Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynecology. A study-specific questionnaire designed using Google Forms® was utilized for the study. The questionnaire was distributed electronically to study participants, to gather information on their sociodemographic characteristics, opinions, knowledge, and training on abortion. Collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS, version 25.
RESULTS: Most (140, 74.8%) trainee ObGyn reported that abortion was legal in their countries and most (171, 91.4%) supported the legalization of abortion. Eleven (5.9%) trainees who did not support the legalization of abortion cited religious concerns as their most common reason (5/11, 45.5%). Nearly three-quarters (133, 71.1%) of the trainees would perform an abortion on request. Most of the trainees reported that abortion education was included in the medical school curricula (131, 70.1%) and the ObGyn residency training programs (155, 82.9%) in their countries. Notwithstanding, 36.4% (68) either did not know or did not correctly know the legal status of abortion in their countries.
CONCLUSIONS: There is some disparity between ObGyn trainees\' knowledge of safe abortion and their awareness of the legality of the same in their countries. There is a need for all countries to include abortion education in the curricula of medical schools and all ObGyn residency programs should offer abortion training to all residents. There is a need for increased advocacy for the legalization of abortion in countries where abortion remains criminalized.
方法:世界妇产科受训人员协会对受训人员ObGyn进行了一项横断面研究。使用GoogleForms®设计的特定研究问卷用于研究。问卷以电子方式分发给研究参与者,收集关于他们社会人口特征的信息,意见,知识,和堕胎培训。收集的数据使用IBMSPSS进行分析,版本25
结果:大多数(140,74.8%)的受训人员ObGyn报告说,堕胎在他们的国家是合法的,大多数(171,91.4%)支持堕胎合法化。11名(5.9%)不支持堕胎合法化的受训者将宗教问题作为最常见的原因(5/11,45.5%)。将近四分之三(133,71.1%)的受训者会根据要求进行堕胎。大多数受训人员报告说,堕胎教育已被纳入其国家的医学院课程(131,70.1%)和ObGyn住院医师培训计划(155,82.9%)。尽管如此,36.4%(68)的人不知道或不正确地知道其国家的堕胎法律地位。
结论:ObGyn受训者对安全堕胎的知识与他们对本国堕胎合法性的认识之间存在一些差异。所有国家都需要将堕胎教育纳入医学院的课程,所有ObGyn住院医师计划都应向所有居民提供堕胎培训。在堕胎仍然被定为犯罪的国家,有必要更多地倡导堕胎合法化。
