Main Results:

  • Financial situation and emotional bond with a partner are significant conditions for pregnancy crisis.
  • The decision to abort is influenced by individual factors: partner's commitment, career-life compatibility, and relationship with one's own mother.
  • Maternal competence trust is linked to the pregnant woman's relationship with her mother.

Conclusions:

  • Current life circumstances predict pregnancy conflict, while individual psychological and relational factors guide abortion decisions.
  • Support interventions should consider both situational stressors and deeply ingrained personal and relational dynamics.
  • The influence of maternal relationships and perceived maternal competence warrants further investigation in reproductive health research.
