PILOT STUDY ON THE ATTITUDE OF PHYSICIANS TO MEDICAL ABORTION IN BULGARIA. (English)

The purpose of this study is to describe the attitudes to medical abortion in a sample of medical practitioners in Bulgaria. A direct anonymous survey was conducted with 72 doctors, obstetricians and gynecologists, to determine their attitude to medical abortion. The respondents are of different ages, of different types of settlements, their practice is different - hospital, medical center (MC) or diagnostic and consulting center (DCC) and individual practice for specialized medical care. The results of the study show that in Bulgaria, the method is well accepted by doctors due to its safety and effectiveness. In addition, medical abortion saves time and does not require specific surgical skills and facilities to perform as other methods of terminating a pregnancy require. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
