Abstract

Abortion is the end of pregnancy before the age of 20 weeks. Abortion is commonly happened in pregnancy. Abortion can be harmful to the mother and can cause death. Maternal death rate in Indonesia is currently still quite high, reaching 359 per 100,000 live births. The risk factors of abortion are the amount of the workload and maternal age at pregnancy and parity. In this study, the factors that become the determinants in the occurrence of abortion are found. The research was conducted in West Lombok regency, West Nusa Tenggara with cross sectional method and sampling technique using systematic random sampling, there were 64 samples. The data collection is done by distributing questionnaires which are then analyzed by using computer application. The result of this research shows that the majority of abortion patients are at the age of 20-30 years with 17 respondents (68.00%), in education category, it shows that the majority of abortion patients in primary, junior high, and senior high school are 26 respondents (57.78%). The occupation category also shows more abortion patients in the heavy workload with 22 respondents (56.40%) and in parity category, the majority of patients which experienced abortion in two times parity are 18 respondents (54.55%). It is hoped that health workers will prioritize protective measures and adequate service approach, besides it is expected that the health service center develops a supportive health promotion program.
