To assess the knowledge and attitudes of emergency contraception (EC) among nursing and midwifery students of a university in the Eastern-Mediterranean region of Turkey.
The survey was conducted among 210 nursing and midwifery students.
One hundred and twenty-five participants (59.5%) knew at least one method of EC. One hundred and fourteen participants (54.3%) had heard about emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), but only 17 (8.1%) knew what they contained. Rates of hearing about ECPs were statistically higher in third and fourth classes than first and second classes, and in midwifery students than in nursing students (P < 0.001). In spite of their very unsatisfactory level of knowledge, 166 students (79.0%) thought that ECPs should be sold in pharmacies.
The nursing and midwifery students we assessed have a very insufficient knowledge of EC. Probably therefore, many are prejudiced against it. They should be much better acquainted with this modality of contraception since, after graduation, they will play an important role in the dissemination of information about EC in the population.
评估土耳其东地中海地区一所大学的护理和助产专业学生对紧急避孕（EC）的知识和态度。
对210名护理和助产专业学生进行了调查。
125名参与者（59.5%）至少了解一种紧急避孕方法。114名参与者（54.3%）听说过紧急避孕药（ECP），但只有17人（8.1%）知道其成分。三年级和四年级学生听说紧急避孕药的比例在统计学上高于一、二年级学生，助产专业学生听说紧急避孕药的比例高于护理专业学生（P < 0.001）。尽管他们的知识水平非常不理想，但166名学生（79.0%）认为紧急避孕药应该在药店出售。
我们评估的护理和助产专业学生对紧急避孕的知识非常不足。因此，他们中许多人可能对紧急避孕存在偏见。鉴于毕业后他们将在向公众传播紧急避孕信息方面发挥重要作用，他们应该更好地了解这种避孕方式。
