摘要
背景:提供人工流产服务的医疗服务提供者对人工流产持消极态度,即使在法律允许应要求进行人工流产的情况下,这也可能成为一个障碍。人们期望医疗服务提供者能够提供人工流产服务,并成为人工流产服务的变革者。然而,有关埃塞俄比亚医疗服务提供者对安全堕胎的态度的信息却知之甚少:本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西北部巴哈达尔市公共医疗机构的医疗服务提供者对安全人工流产护理的态度及其相关因素:从 2021 年 3 月 1 日至 30 日,对 416 名医疗服务提供者进行了基于医疗机构的横断面研究。数据通过计算机生成的简单随机抽样技术收集,使用 Epi data 4.2 版进行输入、编码和清理,并使用社会科学统计软件包 25.0 版进行分析。采用双变量和多变量逻辑回归分析来估算粗略和调整后的几率比例,置信区间为 95%,P 值小于 0.05 为具有统计学意义:研究的应答率为 99.3%,70.2% [95% CI:65.6-74.6] 的医疗服务提供者对安全堕胎护理持积极态度。多变量分析表明,25-29 岁、30-34 岁和≥35 岁年龄组的医护人员[AOR = 3.34,95% CI = 1.03-10.85]、[AOR = 4.58,95% CI = 1.33- 15.83]和[AOR = 5.30,95% CI = 1.43-19.66]、男性医护人员[AOR = 3.20,95% CI = 1.55-6.60]、助产士[AOR = 6.50,95% CI = 2.40-17.44]、在医院工作[AOR = 4.77,95% CI = 1.53-14.91]、接受过安全堕胎培训[AOR = 4.58,95% CI = 1.33-15.83]和[AOR = 5.91]、接受过安全人工流产培训[AOR = 5.09,95% CI = 2.29-11.32]、实施过人工流产手术[AOR = 2.52,95% CI = 1.13-5.60]、人工流产知识[AOR = 7.35,95% CI = 3.23-16.71]、对修订后的堕胎法的认识[AOR = 6.44,95% CI = 3.15-13.17]和堕胎法进一步合法化的需求[AOR = 11.78,95% CI = 5.52-24.26]与对安全堕胎护理的良好态度相关:结论:与之前的研究相比,对安全堕胎护理持赞成态度的医疗服务提供者相对较多。年龄、性别、职业、工作地点、培训、知识和实践相关因素与对安全人工流产的良好态度有关。这项研究表明,有必要采取干预措施,帮助改善医护人员对安全人工流产护理的态度,尤其是那些在妇产科工作的医护人员。
Health care providers attitude towards safe abortion care and its associated factors in Northwest, Ethiopia, 2021: a health facility-based cross-sectional study.
Background: A negative attitude towards abortion among health care providers providing abortion services could be an obstacle even under a law, which permits abortion on request. Healthcare providers are expected to perform and be change agents of abortion services. However, little information is known about the attitude toward safe abortion among healthcare providers in Ethiopia.
Objective: This study aimed to assess health care provider's attitudes towards safe abortion care and its associated factors at the public health facilities of Bahir Dar City, Northwest Ethiopia.
Methods: A health facility-based cross-sectional study was employed from March 1 to 30/2021 among 416 health-care providers. The data were collected by computer-based generated simple random sampling technique, entered, coded, and cleaned using Epi data version 4.2 and analyzed using Statistical Package of Social Sciences version 25.0. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were employed to estimate the crude and adjusted odds ratio with a confidence interval of 95% and a P-value of less than 0.05 considered statistically significant.
Results: The response rate of the study was 99.3%, and 70.2% [95% CI: 65.6-74.6] of health-care providers had a favorable attitude towards safe abortion care. Multivariable analysis indicated that health care providers who are found in the age group of 25-29, 30-34, and ≥ 35 years [AOR = 3.34, 95% CI = 1.03-10.85], [AOR = 4.58, 95% CI = 1.33- 15.83] and [AOR = 5.30, 95% CI = 1.43-19.66] respectively, male health care providers [AOR = 3.20, 95% CI = 1.55-6.60], midwives [AOR = 6.50, 95% CI = 2.40-17.44], working at hospital [AOR = 4.77, 95% CI = 1.53-14.91], ever trained on safe abortion [AOR = 5.09, 95% CI = 2.29-11.32], practicing of an abortion procedure [AOR = 2.52, 95%, CI = 1.13-5.60], knowledge of abortion [AOR = 7.35, 95% CI = 3.23-16.71], awareness on revised abortion law [AOR = 6.44, 95% CI = 3.15-13.17] and need further legalization of abortion law [AOR = 11.78, 95% CI = 5.52-24.26] were associated with a favorable attitude towards safe abortion care.
Conclusions: Healthcare providers who had a favorable attitude toward safe abortion care were relatively high compared to the previous studies. Age, sex, profession, workplace, training, knowledge, and practice-related factors were associated with a favorable attitude toward safe abortion. This study indicated that, a need for intervention to help improve the attitude of healthcare providers toward safe abortion care, especially for those working in the maternity care units.
期刊介绍:
Reproductive Health focuses on all aspects of human reproduction. The journal includes sections dedicated to adolescent health, female fertility and midwifery and all content is open access.
Reproductive health is defined as a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system, at all stages of life. Good reproductive health implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Men and women should be informed about and have access to safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice, and the right to appropriate health-care services that enable women to safely go through pregnancy and childbirth.
