Factors associated with a favorable attitude were marital status (p = 0.013), elderly patient (p = 0.002), previous abortions (p < 0.001), previous parity (p = 0.001) and previous pregnancies (p < 0.001). For the level of knowledge, an association was found marital status (p < 0.001) and elderly patient (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The factors significantly associated with a favorable attitude and a high level of knowledge: marital status and elderly patient.
