A Cross-Sectional Study From Turkey Regarding Stigmatizing Attitudes And Behaviors Towards Abortion

Öz

Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the perspective on the stigma of abortion within the scope of reproductive health services Material and methods: This study was conducted between 01.02.2023 and 01.04.2023 in Giresun Gynecology and Pediatrics Training and Research Hospital. A survey form assessing sociodemographic characteristics and stigmatizing attitudes, beliefs and behaviourstowards abortion was administered face to face by the researchers to volunteers aged 18 and over. All analyses were evaluated for statistical significance with a threshold of p <0.05 and used IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows Version 26.0 (IBM, NY, USA). The difference between the scale and subscale score averages according to sociodemographic variables was determined by the Mann Whitney U test for two independent groups and the Kruskal Wallis test for more than two groups. Results: A significant difference was found in total stigmatizing attitude scores and all sub-dimensions according to education level, household income and living in the province/ district (p<0.001). Stigmatizing attitudes were significantly lower in those with an educational level of university and above compared to other educational levels (p<0.001). Stigmatizing attitudes were significantly higher in those with a household income below minimum wage compared to those with a household income above minimum wage (p=0.01). Stigmatizing attitudes were significantly lower in those living in the city centre compared to those living in the districts (p<0.001). Conclusion: In general, stigmatizing attitudes and behaviours towards abortion may differ in different segments of society, and their consequences may also vary. Stigmatizing attitudes towards abortion maintain their importance on issues such as the goal of reducing deaths, social awareness, respect for human rights, health and safety. A more comprehensive view of reproductive health may be helpful in changing this attitude.
