Researchers have established that individuals' abortion knowledge is positively associated with their support of abortion rights. However, social workers' personal beliefs regarding abortion are under-researched, even though social workers are often employed in health promotion and education roles in which the topic of abortion is encountered. The current study examines the results of a nationwide survey of social work students (N = 504) and explores the relationship between social work students' abortion knowledge and abortion attitudes. Less abortion knowledge was significantly associated with antichoice attitude endorsement. Implications for social work research, training, and education are subsequently discussed.
研究人员已经确定，个人的堕胎知识与他们对堕胎权利的支持呈正相关。然而，尽管社会工作者经常在健康促进和教育岗位上遇到堕胎话题，但关于社会工作者对堕胎的个人信仰的研究却很少。本研究调查了一项对社会工作专业学生（N = 504）的全国性调查结果，并探讨了社会工作专业学生的堕胎知识与堕胎态度之间的关系。堕胎知识较少与反堕胎态度的认同显著相关。随后讨论了对社会工作研究、培训和教育的启示。
