BACKGROUND Induced abortion is a common undergo in many societies of the world. Every year, around 20 million unsafe abortions are done worldwide. From fragmented studies conducted in Ethiopia, the prevalence of induced abortion and its adverse effects are increasing over time. The aim of this study was to assess factors associated with induced abortion among female preparatory school students in Guraghe zone. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among female students of preparatory schools in April 2017. Systematic random sampling technique was employed to select 404 students from the total of 3960 female preparatory school students in the study area. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires. Descriptive summary, binary and multivariate analyses were underwent to identify factors associated with induced abortion. The study was ethically approved by institutional review board of Wolkite University. RESULTS The response rate of this study was 98.3%. The lifetime prevalence of induced abortion among young preparatory schools students whose age range from 15 to 22 years was 13.6% [95% CI (10.4, 17.1)]. The odds of induced abortion undergo was 2.3 times more likely in rural family residents [AOR = 2.3, 95% CI (1.1, 4.8)] as compared to that of urban family residents. Students without sexual health education were 6.4 times more likely to undergo induced abortion as compared to those who got sexual health education at sc0000hool [AOR = 6.4, 95% CI (3.1, 13.1)]. Furthermore, students who drank alcohol often were 4 times [AOR = 4.0, 95% CI (1.1, 14.2)] more likely to undergo induced abortion and students who consumed alcohol sometimes had 3.3 times [AOR: 3.3, 95%CI (1.4, 8.1)] the risk of induced abortion compared with girls with no history of alcohol consumption. CONCLUSION A high lifetime prevalence of induced abortion among young adolescent was observed. Being rural residence, not having reproductive health education, and alcohol consumption were found to be independent predictors of induced abortion undergo. Therefore, IEC/BCC programs with special emphasis on youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services should be strengthened to reduce induced abortion.

埃塞俄比亚南部地区古拉盖地区预科学生人工流产的危险因素：一项横断面研究。

背景技术人工流产在世界许多社会中是常见的经历。全世界每年约有 2000 万例不安全堕胎。根据在埃塞俄比亚进行的零碎研究，人工流产的流行率及其不利影响随着时间的推移而增加。本研究的目的是评估古拉盖地区预科女学生人工流产的相关因素。方法于2017年4月对预科学校女学生进行横断面研究，采用系统随机抽样方法从研究区3960名预科学校女学生中抽取404名学生。通过自填问卷收集数据。通过描述性总结、二元和多变量分析来确定与人工流产相关的因素。该研究得到了沃尔凯特大学机构审查委员会的伦理批准。结果本研究有效率98.3%。15至22岁的年轻预科学生终生人工流产患病率为13.6%[95% CI (10.4, 17.1)]。农村家庭居民接受人工流产的几率是城市家庭居民的2.3倍[AOR = 2.3, 95% CI (1.1, 4.8)]。没有接受过性健康教育的学生进行人工流产的可能性是在 sc0000hool 接受过性健康教育的学生的 6.4 倍 [AOR = 6.4, 95% CI (3.1, 13.1)]。此外，经常饮酒的学生进行人工流产的可能性是其 4 倍 [AOR = 4.0, 95% CI (1.1, 14.2)]，而有时饮酒的学生进行人工流产的可能性是其 3.3 倍 [AOR: 3.3, 95% CI (1.4, 14.2)]。 8.1)]与无饮酒史的女孩相比，人工流产的风险。结论 年轻青少年中人工流产的终生患病率较高。研究发现，居住在农村、未受过生殖健康教育和饮酒是人工流产的独立预测因素。因此，应加强特别强调青年友好性和生殖健康服务的 IEC/BCC 计划，以减少人工流产。
