Abstract

Describe the current status of contraceptive use and some related factors in the group of women with unwanted pregnancies. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 396 women with unwanted pregnancies who had an abortion at Hanoi Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital in 2020. Results: Women using contraceptive methods accounted for 74.2% in the study group, and using modern contraceptives accounted for the majority (87.4%) compared with traditional contraceptive methods. Usage rate: male condoms (36.4%), emergency contraception pills (29.8%), contraceptive implant (15.4%). The group of 15-19 years has a higher probability of using contraceptive methods than the other groups. Women with enough surviving sons and daughters tend to use contraceptive methods 3.4 times higher than those with only one child. Married women and lovers who consider this pregnancy to be unintended are 1.8 times more likely to use contraception than the other group. Women with unintended pregnancies who come to hospital for abortions have a high failure rate of modern contraceptive use.
