| description | Objectives: This study aims to examine the attitudes and knowledge of obstetricians in related to the Protection of Children Born from Assisted Reproductive Technologies Act 2015. Materials and Methods: This was a survey study using a mailed questionnaires sent to 2,550 Obstetricians who were registered with The Royal Thai College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RTCOG) and sent to their registered addresses. The questionnaires consisted of knowledge and attitude questions.Results: Replies were received from 340 obstetricians with a response rate of 13.3%. Of these Thai Obstetricians, 81.5% had a good attitude to the law while 14.7% and 3.8% respectively had moderate and poor attitude. The majority (56.7%) had a good knowledge of the law, while 37.1% had a moderate knowledge and just 6.2% had a poor knowledge. Nearly one hundred percent strongly agreed that there should be a law to control ART, that the law will help monitor ART and maintain good morals as well as protecting the dignity of attending obstetricians. Conclusion: The responded obstetricians have a good attitude towards and knowledge of the Protection of Children Born from Assisted Reproductive Technologies Act 2015. The RTCOG should inform nationwide obstetricians about this law and provide data center support. |
