Abstract

The purpose of this project is to study the practice and opinion about medical abortion among medical residents in gynecology and obstetrics about their knowledge on the use of misoprostol and mifepristone, and their attitude towards induced abortion. Twenty one teaching hospitals in Brazil will be selected to participate in the study. All residents registered in the teaching hospital will be invited to participate. The invitation will be done by a local supervisor who will explain to the residents the research objectives and methodology. A structured questionnaire containing only closed-ended questions to be self responded will be used to collect the data. The supervisor will distribute the questionnaire to the residents and will instruct them to deposit the questionnaires (completed or not) in a sealed ballot box. The data will be processed and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS-PC). In order to evaluate the association between subject's sociodemographic characteristics and their knowledge, attitude and experience regarding medical abortion and induced abortion Yates' chi-square test for two-category predictors and Pearson's chi-square for the others will be used, and Poisson multiple regression analysis will be used to present the risk ratio.
