It is not known whether the attitudes of Norwegian medical students towards abortion change in the course of their studies, or whether the attitudes differ among the four Norwegian medical schools. We have investigated attitudes towards abortion and the right to conscientious objection among medical students early and late in their studies at the four medical schools. Student satisfaction with the teaching on abortion was also surveyed.
A questionnaire survey was carried out among medical students at the four Norwegian medical schools, first year and fourth/fifth year students respectively.
514 students (58.3 % of the students in the chosen classes) responded. 87.5 % approved of abortion on demand. The students at NTNU were the most liberal (93.5 %). Fourth/fifth year students were more liberal than first year students (91.3 % vs. 84.7 %, p = 0.027). 27.3 % would want to exercise their right to conscientious objection. 41.5 % had been present at a surgical abortion. Of those who had not been present at a surgical abortion, 84.1 % would want to see an abortion being carried out if given the opportunity. 29 % agreed that the teaching did not adequately cover the ethical aspects of abortion.
Abortion on demand has wide approval among Norwegian medical students. However, many students would consider exercising their right to conscientious objection. More fourth/fifth year students than first year students approved of abortion.
尚不清楚挪威医学生对堕胎的态度在其学习过程中是否会发生变化，也不清楚挪威四所医学院校之间的态度是否存在差异。我们调查了四所医学院校医学生在学习早期和后期对堕胎及良心拒服兵役权利的态度。还对学生对堕胎教学的满意度进行了调查。
对挪威四所医学院校的医学生分别进行了问卷调查，分别针对一年级和四年级/五年级的学生。
514名学生（所选班级学生的58.3%）做出了回应。87.5%的学生赞成按需堕胎。挪威科技大学的学生最为开明（93.5%）。四年级/五年级的学生比一年级的学生更开明（91.3%对84.7%，p = 0.027）。27.3%的学生希望行使其良心拒服兵役的权利。41.5%的学生曾目睹过人工流产手术。在那些没有目睹过人工流产手术的学生中，84.1%的学生表示如果有机会愿意观看堕胎手术。29%的学生认为教学没有充分涵盖堕胎的伦理方面。
按需堕胎在挪威医学生中得到广泛认可。然而，许多学生可能会考虑行使其良心拒服兵役的权利。四年级/五年级的学生比一年级的学生更赞成堕胎。
