This study aimed to provide knowledge about attitudes towards abortion among Danish physicians in training in the specialties of obstetrics/gynecology and clinical genetics. The study was a questionnaire survey among trainees in these specialties. Ninety-six responded. Trainees in clinical genetics were more pro-abortion than those in obstetrics/gynecology (p = 0.04). Of the respondents 30% versus 48% found working with early and late abortions unpleasant. Nearly half agreed to having chosen their specialty despite having to counsel and treat women having abortions. Twenty-one percent agreed that working with late abortion affected their job satisfaction negatively. Those agreeing to the above statements had a tendency towards lower pro-abortion scores than those being indifferent or disagreeing, but the differences were not significant. A substantial fraction of physicians in training have negative feelings associated with abortion-related work and require support in handling and coping with these challenges. |
