Abstract Objective: To explore the contraceptive knowledge, attitude and behavior of post-abortion women and analyze the effectiveness of consultation on contraceptive method choice of them to provide scientific theory for hospitals to better provide post-abortion contraception services. Methods: A total of 500 women who did abortion operation from October 8, 2013 to January 8, 2014 in Tianjin Medical University General hospital were recruited. A questionnaire was used to survey the postpartum contraceptive knowledge, attitude and behavior. A consulting service was provided for them and the change in contraceptive method choice was evaluated. Results: An overall accuracy of contraceptive knowledge was 29.1%, and the average score was 2.93 points (10 points of total score). About 67.1% women of post-abortion thought it was necessary or very necessary to know the contraceptive knowledge. The unexpected pregnancy reason were no contraceptive use (14.6%), effective contraceptive use (10.6%), and using condom (68.0%). Through consulting women who chose effective and highly effective contraceptive methods increased by 12.5%. Conclusion: Post-abortion women are lack of contraceptive knowledge, but have a good contraceptive attitude. The main reason of unexpected pregnancies is no use of effective or any contraceptive methods. Consultation can effectively improve the proportion of highly effective contraceptive use, therefore it is around the corner to strengthen post-abortion contraception services.
