Abstract: 　　　Objective To better understand the knowledge, attitudes, practice(KAP) status and relative demand to post abortion family planning service(PAFPS) in medical staffs of obstetrics and gynecology department in Tianjin. Methods By using random, stratified and clustered sampling approach, we selected 290 obstetrics and gynecology personnels in Tianjin. A Self-Administered Questionnaire on PAFPS KAP was employed to survey the general characteristics, awareness of PAFPS knowledge, attitudes to PAFPS, the occurrence of unintended pregnancy themselves, service capabilities of PAFPS and request of continuing education. Results The respondents had defects in PAFPS forms, follow-up arrangements and contraceptive method after abortion. Doctors’ average knowledge score was higher than nurses’. The higher the level of medical institutions and job titles, the higher the knowledge score. 95.34% of respondents believe that it is necessary to develop PAFPS widely. But 93.55% of respondents think it is difficult to carry out PAFPS as required because of unclear service process, shortage of funds, human resource constraints, inadequate facilities and weak sense of service. 53.36% of respondents who had sexual life history occurred unintended pregnancy themselves. The current defects of PAFPS were hadn’t standardized service processes, missing of medium-term and long-term follow-up, missing of collective consulting, providing of contraceptives not timely and hadn’t pay attention to contraceptive advice. 90.68% medical personnel showed demand on relative training. Conclusion It’s necessary to perform continuing education about PAFPS to obstetrics and gynecology personnels via different intervention. At the same time, we should increase investment and make the service processes perfectly, so as to improve the level of PAFPS among obstetrics and gynecology medical staffs.
