Many reproductive aged women needlessly die due to unsafe abortion even when they seek help to terminate their unwanted pregnancy. These deaths could have been prevented had they been aware that safe abortion service was available to them. The study aimed at finding out the effectiveness of the education intervention in improving knowledge among reproductive age group women regarding the safe abortion.
An experimental intervention was carried out on safe abortion education among the reproductive age group women. The impact of pre- and post- intervention was evaluated by using a set of structured questionnaire in local language. The obtained data was analyzed by using the Excel and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 12.0 for windows and result was interpreted.
The post intervention finding revealed a significantly higher (p=0.001) mean on knowledge among participants about safe abortion compared to pre-observational test. The mean difference between the pre-test and post-test was 64.1% (Pre-test 11.18±12.88 Post-test 75.28±9.56). The research hypothesis was accepted with p value paired t-test at <0.001 (0.05). The result supports that the educational intervention was effective in increasing safe abortion awareness among reproductive aged group women.
The safe abortion educational intervention program was instrumental to improve reproductive age women's knowledge considerably about safe abortion service.
许多育龄妇女即使在寻求帮助终止意外怀孕时，仍因不安全堕胎而不必要地死亡。如果她们知道可以获得安全堕胎服务，这些死亡本可避免。该研究旨在了解教育干预在提高育龄妇女对安全堕胎知识方面的有效性。
对育龄妇女开展了关于安全堕胎教育的实验性干预。通过使用一套当地语言的结构化问卷来评估干预前后的影响。使用Excel和社会科学统计软件包（Windows版12.0）对获得的数据进行分析，并对结果进行解读。
干预后的调查结果显示，与干预前测试相比，参与者对安全堕胎的知识平均得分显著更高（p = 0.001）。前测和后测之间的平均差异为64.1%（前测11.18±12.88，后测75.28±9.56）。通过配对t检验，研究假设在p值<0.001（0.05）时被接受。结果支持教育干预在提高育龄妇女对安全堕胎的认识方面是有效的。
安全堕胎教育干预计划有助于大幅提高育龄妇女对安全堕胎服务的知识。
