to determine knowledge, attitudes and practices relating to emergency contraception among health-care providers (general practitioners, nurses and midwives).
a cross-sectional design using face-to-face interview methods plus questionnaire in the work setting. Researchers were able to maintain privacy by using priority strategies.
18 primary health-care units in Manisa, western Turkey.
182 health-care providers (general practitioners [n = 72]; nurses and midwives [n = 110] were invited to participate in the study, but 26 of them declined.
156 health-care providers. As 16 participants had not heard of emergency contraception, 140 health-care providers (general practitioners [n = 51] and nurses and midwives [n = 89]) were included.
of the health-care providers, almost one in 10 was unfamiliar with the term 'emergency contraception'. Only a few health-care providers knew how to use the intra-uterine contraceptive device (IUCD) for emergency contraception and the doses of emergency contraceptive pills. Some health-care providers included emergency contraception in routine consultations, but many did not support the use of emergency contraception in Turkey. Many of the providers thought that young people should not know about emergency contraception.
knowledge among health-care providers about emergency contraception is inadequate. All health-care providers should know about emergency contraception and include it in routine contraceptive consultations. Thus, continuing education information programmes are required. Further research into the knowledge, practices and attitudes of health-care providers is needed to understand the underlying reasons for the hesitant attitudes among health professionals.
确定医疗保健人员（全科医生、护士和助产士）对紧急避孕的知识、态度和做法。
在工作场所采用面对面访谈方法加问卷调查的横断面设计。研究人员通过采用优先策略来维护隐私。
土耳其西部马尼萨的18个初级卫生保健单位。
邀请了182名医疗保健人员（全科医生[n = 72]；护士和助产士[n = 110]）参与研究，但其中26人拒绝。
156名医疗保健人员。由于16名参与者从未听说过紧急避孕，因此纳入了140名医疗保健人员（全科医生[n = 51]和护士及助产士[n = 89]）。
在医疗保健人员中，近十分之一的人不熟悉“紧急避孕”一词。只有少数医疗保健人员知道如何使用宫内节育器（IUCD）进行紧急避孕以及紧急避孕药的剂量。一些医疗保健人员在常规咨询中纳入了紧急避孕，但许多人不支持在土耳其使用紧急避孕。许多提供者认为年轻人不应该了解紧急避孕。
医疗保健人员对紧急避孕的知识不足。所有医疗保健人员都应该了解紧急避孕并将其纳入常规避孕咨询中。因此，需要开展继续教育信息项目。需要进一步研究医疗保健人员的知识、做法和态度，以了解卫生专业人员态度犹豫的潜在原因。
