Abstract.
Objectives. To study occupation, place of residence, genital and extragenital pathology, methods of contraception, parity, contraception methods awareness of women who do an abortion in pregnancy terms of up to 12 weeks.
Material and methods. 105 case – histories of pregnancy termination by means of a therapeutic abortion for the year of 2014 and 55 – for the year of 2015 were analyzed. Statistical data processing was performed using application software package «Statistica 6.0 (StatSoft, Ink. 1994-2001), adapted for biomedical researches. In all cases p<0,05 (5%) was considered to be significant.
Results. Women were divided into 2 groups. The first group consisted of 105 female patients, in whom a therapeutic abortion was done in 2014, the second group included 55 women, in whom a therapeutic abortion was performed in 2015. The average age of women did not differ statistically and made up 26,5±7,1 years and 26,6±5,9 years, respectively. The number of city-dwellers did not differ (c2=0,6; p=0,5) between groups (89 women (84,8%) versus 49 women (89,1%)). The overwhelming majority of women in both groups did not use contraception at all (70,5% and 50,9%, respectively). In the overwhelming majority of cases in both groups pupils and students interrupted their first pregnancy. 100,0% women in both groups answered the question «Do you know what contraception is?» in the affirmative, and the main source of information about the methods of preventing unwanted pregnancy in both groups was the Internet (41,9% and 43,6%, respectively).
Conclusions. Abortion still remains one of the methods of family planning, since the overwhelming number of women interrupting their pregnancies with the use of this method do not protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy.
Key words: therapeutic abortion, analysis, interruption of pregnancy.
