AN INTEGRAL ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL AND SOCIAL ASPECTS OF ARTIFICIAL TERMINATION OF PREGNANCY: THE CASE OF MAGADAN OBLAST

Abstract

Unintentional pregnancy and abortion are experiences shared by people all over the world. These effects on reproductive health occur regardless of the country’s income level, region, or legal status of abortion. Modern methods of contraception are the safest for women’s reproductive health. However, only 25 % of women in Russia use such methods, which contributes to an increased number of abortions. The article deals with the medical and social aspects of artificial termination of pregnancy in Magadan Oblast, and analyzes these aspects. The scientific novelty of the study is to identify qualitatively new factors affecting the termination of pregnancy in Magadan Oblast. The aim of the work is an integral analysis of medical and social aspects of artificial termination of pregnancy on the example of Magadan Oblast. Most women experience at least some negative emotions related to their experience of abortion. For many, abortion is a stress that provokes, exacerbates, or complicates mental illness. There is no doubt that women with a history of abortions have higher rates of mental disorders. The analysis of reproductive losses reveals the degree of adaptability of the existing system of maternal and child health protection, as well as the effectiveness of demographic policy in the field of fertility, which allows women to optimally realize their maternal function.
