I vårdandet av en abortsökande kvinna är det viktigt att som sjuksköterska finna en balans mellan sina egna och kvinnans moraliska åsikter kring abort i strävandet att uppnå god vård. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda kvinnor som genomgår abort. Metod: Litteraturöversikt baserad på tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultat: Litteraturöversiktens resultatdel belyser två huvudteman: Sjuksköterskans upplevelser av en känslomässig berg- och dalbana samt svårigheter och krävande upplevelser i arbetet inom abortvård. Dessa två teman består av tre subteman: att få stöd i arbetet genom att ventilera tankar och känslor, hur påfrestningar och stress påverkar sjuksköterskans arbete samt att som sjuksköterska lära sig acceptera kvinnans val. Diskussion: Inom abortvård finner sjuksköterskor det svårt att handskas med den känslomässiga berg-och dalbana som kan uppstå samtidigt som de strävar efter att upprätthålla ett etiskt och professionellt förhållningssätt. Sjuksköterskor behöver stöd och vägledning genom svåra och krävande upplevelser.

This thesis examines the growth of organized opposition to abortion in the United States, and charts the fortunes of the right-to-life movement at a national level during the 1970s and 1980. Anti-abortionists emerged as a social movement in response to changes in the law, and after the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision they struggled to present themselves as a coherent lobby group. The 1970s were thus a time of fluidity and experimentation, as right-to-lifers contemplated different approaches and argued over how best to end legalized abortion. Activists engaged in legislative efforts, political lobbying, and education initiatives, all the while teasing out what exactly it meant to be opposed to abortion. The movement at this time rejected the ideas of absolutists and instead aimed to be as broadly representative of American society as possible. Rather than clearly aligning themselves with the Left or the Right side of politics, the movement pursued a politics of moderation. / This status quo was challenged, however, by the resurgence of conservatism in the late 1970s. As the social conservatives of the so-called “New Right” began to intervene in the abortion debate, right-to-lifers found themselves having to respond to a worldview that spoke only in terms of absolutes. After Ronald Reagan was elected to the Presidency in 1980, anti-abortionists needed to negotiate a political landscape in which they ostensibly had access to power and yet were repeatedly disappointed by the action (or inaction) that came from the White House. This thesis contends that in the 1980s, the relationship between right-to-lifers, the “New Right,” and the Reagan administration was often marked by disappointment and compromise. As the decade drew on, right-to-life leaders increasingly tempered the types of demands they made of the White House and of Republicans in general, and this climate eventually meant that the kinds of activists that rose to prominence within the movement were conservative and the ideas they espoused absolutist.
