    Background:

    • First-trimester abortions are common outpatient procedures.
    • Understanding women's long-term attitudes and behaviors post-abortion is crucial for comprehensive care.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess women's attitudes and contraceptive practices one year after a first-trimester abortion.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted with 63 women one year after their first-trimester abortion.
    • Data collected included reasons for abortion, emotional responses, contraceptive use, and self-perceived coping abilities.

    Main Results:

    • Over 75% reported mature reasons and felt secure in their abortion decision, with predominantly positive self-attitudes.
    • Contraceptive use increased significantly from 21% at conception to 76% one year post-abortion.
    • Over one-third reported enhanced problem-solving and coping capacity after the experience.

    Conclusions:

    • First-trimester abortion is often a well-considered decision with positive psychological outcomes.
    • Women demonstrate increased responsibility in contraceptive use and planning after abortion.
    • The experience can lead to personal growth and improved coping skills.
