abstract="The study was conducted on 250 pregnant women who registered at the Clinic for Gynecology and Obstetrics of the Medical Faculty in Novi Sad with the intention of terminating their pregnancy. The specimen was divided into three groups on the base of pregnancy duration and the legal possibilities of its termination. The examined women were polled through a specially constructed questionnaire and the PSPI scale for the evaluation of the level of suicide capability and depressive state. It was determined that a high score in both scales existed only in those women where there was no possibility of legal termination for the existing pregnancy. The level of existing suicide capability and depressive state had shown to be statistically significant in relation to the other two groups of examined women. Out of the list of examined control variables, only the impossibility of pregnancy termination was high in correlation with the level of both suicide capability and state of depression in the bounds of the risk group, which gives this parameter the meaning of a suicidogenic factor in the conditions of our investigation.<p /> <p>Language: hr</p>",
