Induced abortion is an important medical issue. Knowledge and attitude of midwives regarding legal and religious commandments on induced abortion can be useful in confronting this issue. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitudes of midwives of Isfahan regarding these rules and to find their relationship with demographic characteristics.
This was a cross-sectional, descriptive, and analytical study. The study participants consisted of 189 midwives working in hospitals, health centers, private gynecology clinics, and university. Random quota sampling method was used. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using mean, frequency distribution tables, Pearson correlation, and Spearman's coefficient. For all tests, an error of less than 0.05 was considered.
The majority of the participants had extremely low to moderate (73%) knowledge about the subject of the study. Their attitudes toward effective implementation of these rules were mostly extremely weak to moderate (68.72%). No correlation was observed between knowledge, age, work experience, and education. However, there was a relationship between the level of knowledge about these rules and the location of service. There was no significant correlation between attitude and demographic characteristics.
Due to less knowledge of the midwives and their low attitude score in this regard, training them, improving their attitude toward these issues, and effective implementation of these laws are necessary. Therefore, by identifying the factors affecting the formation of attitudes and the level of knowledge, more constructive proceedings can be taken to promote them.
人工流产是一个重要的医学问题。助产士对人工流产相关法律和宗教戒律的了解及态度，有助于应对这一问题。本研究旨在评估伊斯法罕助产士对这些规定的了解和态度，并找出其与人口统计学特征的关系。
这是一项横断面、描述性和分析性研究。研究参与者包括在医院、健康中心、私立妇科诊所和大学工作的189名助产士。采用随机配额抽样方法。使用研究者自制的问卷收集数据。使用均值、频率分布表、Pearson相关性和Spearman系数进行数据分析。所有检验中，误差小于0.05被视为有统计学意义。
大多数参与者对研究主题的了解极低至中等（73%）。他们对有效执行这些规定的态度大多极其薄弱至中等（68.72%）。在知识、年龄、工作经验和教育之间未观察到相关性。然而，对这些规定的了解程度与服务地点之间存在关系。态度与人口统计学特征之间无显著相关性。
由于助产士对此了解较少且态度得分较低，有必要对他们进行培训，改善他们对这些问题的态度，并有效执行这些法律。因此，通过识别影响态度形成和知识水平的因素，可以采取更具建设性的措施来促进改善。
