This study was aimed at assessing the attitude of health care professionals in Jeddah city toward prenatal diagnosis (PND) and termination of pregnancy (TOP). A cross-sectional study was conducted, and the participants completed a self-administered questionnaire. Approximately 82% of participants showed a consistent trend of accepting PND when appropriate, and 47.5% of the respondents were in favor of TOP if the fetus had a severe disease. Compared with men (69.3%), a significantly greater number of women (88%) accepted to have PND. The most acceptable prenatal diagnostic tests in the study were invasive techniques as most of the participants thought that noninvasive tests were nonspecific.
本研究旨在评估吉达市医疗保健专业人员对产前诊断（PND）和终止妊娠（TOP）的态度。进行了一项横断面研究，参与者完成了一份自填式问卷。约82%的参与者表现出在适当情况下接受PND的一致趋势，47.5%的受访者表示如果胎儿患有严重疾病则赞成TOP。与男性（69.3%）相比，接受PND的女性数量（88%）显著更多。该研究中最可接受的产前诊断测试是侵入性技术，因为大多数参与者认为非侵入性测试不具有特异性。
