Abstract

Background: Abortion is recognized as a social and cultural problem across societies, posing risks to people’s health. This study aims to explore various facets of Induced Abortion in patients admitted to medical centers in Tehran. Method: This descriptive-cross-sectional study surveyed referred patients at Mahdieh, Taleghani, and Shohada-e-Tajrish Hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Information was collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed employing the chi-square test, t-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient, considering a P-value <0. 05 as significant. Results: Among the 1, 200 examined patients, 75% were in favor of Induced Abortion but within legal bounds (95%, CI=58-90). Furthermore, 65% of the participants demonstrated adequate knowledge about Induced Abortion and its associated side effects (95%, CI=55-75), yet they advocated it due to financial and welfare problems. Meanwhile, there was a statistically significant correlation between awareness scores and age, education, and gestational age (P-value<0. 04). Conclusion: The awareness and attitude toward abortion vary among individuals. However, enforcing different severe restrictions and stringent Abortion Laws may lead to destructive consequences.
