Unsafe abortion is one of the major medical and public health problems in developing countries
including Ethiopia. Yet, there is no reliable information on induced abortion distribution and its
determinant factors in the country. This study assesses the determinants of unsafe abortion among
women of reproductive age group in Arsi Zone, Central Ethiopia. Institution based cross-sectional
study was conducted in four health facilities in Arsi zone. Client exit interview was conducted on 268
patients using a structured questionnaire and semi-structured guide for in-depth interview with key
informants. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the
factors associated with unsafe abortion. Thematic analysis was done in this study. For variables having
association in bivariate logistic regression, multivariate logistic regression test was employed. About
115 (42.9%) underwent unsafe abortion; they were about 15 to 19 years (AOR = 12.5; 95% CI: 3.24, 48.3),
20 to 24 years (AOR= 3.98; 95% CI: 1.27, 12.4) and had no formal education (AOR = 4.3; 95% CI: 1.67,
11.14). The study shows the high level of unsafe abortion to capture the attention of programmers and
implementers to prevent unwanted pregnancy and make post abortion care accessible.
