Abstract

Objective: To describe the knowledge of contraceptive methods among women undergoing first-trimester abortion at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology.Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study of 400 women ≥ 18 years old who underwent induced abortions with a gestational age of 6-12 weeks. Results:The mean age of the participants was 30.90 ± 6.44 years, ranging from 19 to 51 years. Among them, the highest proportion of correct knowledge was observed in the group regarding condom use (55.7%), followed by emergency contraceptive pills (34.0%) and daily oral contraceptives (25.0%). Conclusion: The participants demonstrated the highest level of accurate knowledge in the domain of condom use as a contraceptive method, whereas their understanding of emergency contraceptive pills and daily oral contraceptives was comparatively limited. Recommendation: More effective communication strategies are needed to enhance awareness, accessibility, and utilization of contraceptive methods, thereby improving women's reproductive health.
