Influence of post-abortion care in the immediate contraception after the induced abortion

Objective To discuss the influence of post-abortion care (PAC) in the long-term immediate contraception after the induced abortion. Methods A total of 9 025 child-bearing women of receiving the induced abortion and conventional nursing care from January 2017 to December 2017 in Dalian Maternal and Child Health Hospital were selected as control group and 9 048 child-bearing women of receiving the induced abortion and PAC from January 2018 to December 2018 were selected as study group. The contraception conditions and repeated abortion rate were compared. Results Before surgery, the contraception conditions between two groups was not significantly different (P>0.05). After surgery, the request rate of contraception in study group (76.65%, 6 935/9 048) was higher than that of control group (55.63%, 5 021/9 025), the difference was significant (χ2 value was 9.865, P<0.05). After 6 months of surgery, the non-contraception rate in study group (12.04%, 1 089/9 048) was lower than before surgery(58.74%, 5 315/9 048); the non-contraception rate in control group (35.66%, 3218/9 025) was lower than before surgery(61.21%, 5 524/9 025); there was significant difference after 6 months between two groups (χ2 value was 16.453, P<0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of surgery, the repeated abortion rate in study group was 0.11% (10/9 048) and 0.46% (42/9 048), which was significantly lower than control group (3.97%, 358/9 025 and 5.06%, 457/9 025), the difference was significant (χ2 value was 3.728, 3.942, P<0.05). Conclusions PAC has high application value, which can improve their self-protection awareness, reduce the repeated abortion rate and guarantee the reproductive health. It is worthy of clinical promotion. Key words: Post-abortion care; Outpatient clinics; Induced abortion; Contraception
