Vart går gränsen? : En litteraturstudie om sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av personliga värderingar och professionella skyldigheter inom abortvård / Where is the limit? : A literature review about nurses’ experiences of personal values and professional obligations in abortion careBoman, Ebba, Gullbro, Johanna January 2023 (has links)
Introduktion: Abort är ett ingrepp som kan vara mycket påfrestande för kvinnorna som genomgår den men också för sjuksköterskorna som vårdar kvinnorna. Sjuksköterskor spelar en viktig roll i omvårdnaden men kan även de uppleva motgångar i sitt arbete då egna erfarenheter och åsikter hamnar i konflikt med yrkesrollen.Syfte: Syftet med den här litteraturstudien är att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av att vårda kvinnor vid en inducerad abort.Metod: Litteraturstudie som är uppbyggd efter Henricssons (2017) granskningsprocess. Databassökningarna är genomförda i Cinahl och PsychInfo. Kvalitetsgranskningen följde Forsberg och Wengströms (2015) granskningsmall och efter den återstod sju relevanta artiklar som användes i resultatet.Resultat: Resultaten bygger på sju kvalitativa artiklar och redovisas i två huvudteman, det personliga jaget och det professionella jaget. Sammanfattning: Litteraturstudiens resultat påvisade att abortvård är ett ämne vilket sjuksköterskor har olika erfarenheter av. Faktorer som bidrog till sjuksköterskornas erfarenhet var kampen mellan deras personliga och professionella åsikter och värderingar. Dessa kunde delas in i underteman som religion och kultur, etiska värderingar, inre konflikter, behov av kunskap om abort samt stöd inom arbetslaget.

Kvinnors upplevelser av att genomgå en abort och deras erfarenheter av information och stöd : En litteraturöversiktYu Nasenius, Filippa, Werme, Lovisa January 2023 (has links)
Background: In Sweden, about 35 450 induced abortions were performed in 2022. An abortion can be performed either medical or surgical. The medical abortions consist of 96% of all abortions. The reasons for choosing abortion may involve factors such as financial situation, the woman's age, or her partner relationship. Undergoing an abortion can be emotionally challenging, and a nurse's role entails providing person-centered care and support. Aim: The purpose of the study was to examine women's experiences of undergoing an abortion and to explore their experiences of information and support in connection to the procedure. Method: A descriptive literature review based on nine original articles with qualitative methods. Main results: The results revealed fears before and during the abortion procedure as well as concerns about the future. Women's experiences were complex and abortion raised existential questions. The women experienced internal and external stigma, including fear of judgment if their abortion choice became known. Information about the abortion was unsatisfactory for many and the attitude of healthcare professionals played a significant role in how the women perceived the support. The presence of healthcare personnel created a sense of security. Conclusion: This study highlights the complexity of emotions experienced by women in connection to abortion. Therefore, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to comprehend and engage with these experiences and emotions. This can facilitate better support and improve interactions, ultimately leading to the enhancement of women's autonomy and result in more patient-centered care.

Abortsökandes upplevelser av att möta hälso- och sjukvården vid en inducerad abort : en litteraturöversikt / Experiences of meeting healtcare workers among persons who have undergone an induced abortion : a literature reviewKarlsson, Isabelle, Trollsås, Ella January 2024 (has links)
Bakgrund Inom hälso- och sjukvården är abort en av de vanligaste medicinska åtgärderna och är av största vikt för den berörda personens hälsa och liv. Barriärer i form av ekonomisk situation, geografisk plats, icke-respektfull och diskriminerande abortvård leder till ett ökat antal osäkra aborter. En inducerad abort är ingen enkel process utan innebär många olika känslor, där de flesta behöver någon form av omvårdnad. Sjuksköterskan är viktig under denna process, och ska vara en stöttning samt hjälpa den abortsökande att hantera sin situation. Syfte Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var att belysa hur personer som har genomgått en inducerad abort upplever mötet med hälso- och sjukvården. Metod Denna studie är en icke-systematisk litteraturöversikt som inkluderade 15 vetenskapliga artiklar. Sökningarna utfördes i CINAHL och PubMed med hjälp av sökord. Alla artiklar kvalitetsgranskades utifrån Sophiahemmet Högskolas bedömningsunderlag för vetenskaplig klassificering och kvalitet. För att analysera och sammanställa resultatet har en integrerad dataanalys använts. Resultat Upplevelserna av att möta hälso- och sjukvården vid en inducerad abort varierade, med allt från upplevelser som var bättre än förväntat till upplevelser som var mycket dåliga, där ibland sexuella trakasserier. God information och kommunikation, bra stöd och delaktighet var viktigt för en person som söker abort och dess upplevelse av hälso- och sjukvården, speciellt där det fanns identifierade hinder och utmaningar. Slutsats De centrala aspekterna som påverkade den varierande upplevelsen av abortvården var information och kommunikation, stöd, delaktighet samt hinder och utmaningar för vård. Stigmat, kriminaliseringen och väntetiden ansågs vara de tre största barriärerna inom abortvård, och påverkade patientupplevelserna i stort. Joyce Travelbees omvårdnadsteori har applicerats i studien. / Background Abortion is one of the most common medical procedures within healthcare and is of utter importance for an impacted person's health and life. Barriers that lead to an increased count of unsafe abortions are economic status, geographical location, as well as disrespectful and discriminatory abortion care. An induced abortion is not an easy process and brings up many different emotions and most people need some type of nursing care throughout the process of an induced abortion. Nurses are crucial to this process and must support the person seeking an abortion and aid in handling their situation. Aim The purpose of this literature review was to illuminate the experiences of meeting health care workers among persons who have undergone an induced abortion. Method This study is a non-systematic literature review that included 15 scientific articles. With the use of keywords, we searched for articles in CINAHL and PubMed. All articles underwent a quality review with the guidance of Sophiahemmet University´s assessment tool for scientific classification and quality. An integrated data analysis was used to analyze and summarize the results. Results People’s experiences of meeting healthcare workers throughout an induced abortion varied from care that was better than expected to much worse, for example, experiences of sexual harassment. Good information, good support, and patient participation among abortion seekers were important for the experience of meeting the healthcare system, especially where hinders and challenges in care were identified. Conclusions The central aspects that impacted the varied experience of abortion healthcare were information, support, patient participation as well as hinders and challenges to healthcare. Stigma, criminalization of abortion, and waiting times were seen as the two biggest barriers that impacted the experience of going through an abortion. Joyce Travelbee’s nursing care theory was applied in the study.

Reproductive Health and Behavior: The Role of Abuse and Couple Pregnancy IntentCha, Susan 01 January 2015 (has links)
Background: Rapid repeat pregnancy (RRP), a pregnancy occurring less than 24 months from a prior birth, and unintended pregnancy-related induced abortions can be prevented with family planning. However, few studies have adequately addressed the role of male partners in reproductive decision-making. Objectives: The goal of this research is to understand the interrelationships between couple pregnancy intention, intimate partner violence (IPV), reproductive health and behaviors. Specifically, this project aims to: (1) examine the extent to which couple pregnancy intentions are associated with RRP and (2) induced abortions among women in the U.S., and (3) examine the extent to which IPV around the time of pregnancy is associated with postpartum birth control use by race/ethnicity and receipt of prenatal contraceptive counseling among U.S. women with live births. Methods: This project uses data from the 2006-2010 National Survey on Family Growth (NSFG), and the 2004-2008 national Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). RRP and induced abortion of first pregnancy were self-reported in the NSFG. Couple pregnancy intentions were categorized as: both intended (M+P+), both unintended (M-P-), maternal intended and paternal unintended (M+P-), maternal unintended and paternal intended (M-P+). Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationships between couple pregnancy intentions and RRP and induced abortion. Data on IPV and postpartum contraceptive use came from PRAMS. Stratified analyses were conducted to assess differences in the association by race/ethnicity and receipt of prenatal contraceptive counseling. Results: Compared to couples where pregnancy was intended by both, those with discordant pregnancy intentions and both unintended pregnancy had greater odds of induced abortion. The odds of RRP was higher for M-P+ couples and lower for M+P- couples. Abused women were significantly less likely to report postpartum contraceptive use. This was particularly true for Hispanic women who reported no prenatal birth control counseling and all other racial/ethnic groups who received birth control counseling. Conclusion: Health providers may need to consider the interpersonal dynamics of couple-based decision-making and behaviors to prevent RRP and induced abortions due to unintended pregnancy. Providers should discuss contraceptive options that are not partner-dependent within the context of abusive relationships.

Aborto provocado: vivência e significado. Um estudo fundamentado na fenomenologia / Induced abortion: experience and meaning. A study based on phenomenologyBorsari, Cristina Mendes Gigliotti 04 April 2012 (has links)
Introdução: O aborto é assunto bastante polêmico e ainda muito estigmatizado pela sociedade brasileira. Seja aborto espontâneo ou provocado, apresenta repercussões emocionais ambivalentes para as mulheres que o vivenciam. Este estudo trata do tema aborto em um contexto plural e multifacetado, com o objetivo de identificar e analisar a vivência e o significado do aborto provocado enquanto fenômeno existencial concreto na vida da mulher, e comparar com mulheres que tiveram o aborto espontâneo. Método: Trata-se de estudo quali-quantitativo em que foram entrevistadas mulheres com diagnóstico de aborto atendidas em dois hospitais públicos da cidade de São Paulo no período de julho de 2008 a março de 2010. Para fins de análise qualitativa foram incluídas as 11 mulheres que provocaram aborto e para análise quantitativa, foi realizado estudo caso controle comparando-se com 22 que sofreram aborto espontâneo. As 11 mulheres que provocaram aborto foram entrevistadas em profundidade e os dados analisados qualitativamente com embasamento teórico Fenomenológico-Existencial. Resultados: As mulheres do grupo com aborto provocado, em relação ao grupo com aborto espontâneo, apresentaram menor escolaridade sendo mais freqüente o nível fundamental (82% vs. 36%, P=0,04); menor renda familiar (mediana, R$1000 vs. R$1400, P=0,04); menor renda pessoal (mediana, R$200 vs. R$333, P=0,04), maior frequência de sentimentos negativos na suspeita (82% vs. 22%, P=0,004) e na confirmação (72% vs. 22%, P=0,03) da gravidez. Na análise qualitativa fenomenológica, foram revelados nos discursos das mulheres cinco temáticas: percepção do conflito, a culpa como recurso de enfrentamento, identidade parental, relações afetivas fragilizadas e significado do aborto provocado (desamparo, sofrimento e dor). Um tema único e maior prevaleceu no discurso de todas as mulheres que provocaram o aborto as relaçoes afetivas fragilizadas e a culpa, entendendo-se este tema como a essência da vivência das mulheres que provocaram o aborto. Conclusão: Este estudo permitiu lançar um novo olhar, um recorte da vivência de mulheres menos favorecidas que se utilizaram de serviços públicos de saúde em momento de sofrimento diante da experiência do aborto provocado, e os sentimentos de relacionamentos fragilizados associados à culpa ressaltam como significados da vivência dessas mulheres / Introduction: The abortion subject is very controversial and still much stigmatized by the Brazilian society. Is miscarriage or induced abortion, shows ambivalent has emotional repercussions for women who experience. This study addresses the abortion issue in a plural and multifaceted context, aiming to identify and analyze the experience and meaning of abortion as the concrete existential phenomenon in women\'s lives, and to compare with women who had spontaneous abortion. Method: This is a qualitative and quantitative study based upon interviews with women diagnosed as abortion treated at two hospitals in São Paulo in the period July 2008 to March 2010. For purposes of qualitative analysis were included the 11 women who had an abortion and for quantitative analysis was conducted case-control study compared yourself to 22 who suffered miscarriage. The 11 women who had induced abortion were interviewed in depth and analyzed qualitatively with theoretical background Existential-Phenomenological. Results: The women in group with induced abortion in compared to those with spontaneous abortion, had less education and are more frequent in primary level (82% vs. 36%, P=0,04); lower family income (median $580 vs. $812, P = 0.04), lower personal income (median, $115 vs. $193, P = 0.04), higher frequency of negative feelings in the suspicion (82% vs. 22%, P = 0.004) and confirmation (72% vs. 22%, P = 0.03) of pregnancy. In phenomenological qualitative analysis, were revealed in the discourses of women at five themes: the perception of conflict, guilt as a means of coping, parental identity, vulnerable emotional relationships and meaning of abortion (abandonment, pain and suffering). The single theme and more prevalent in discourse of all women who had an induced abortion - the guilt and vulnerable affective relationships, understanding of this as the essence of the experience of women who had an induced abortion. Conclusion: This study has generated a new look, a clipping of the experience of disadvantaged women who used public health services in moment of suffering in the face of experience of abortion, and feelings of guilt associated with vulnerable relationships stand out as meanings of experiences of these women

Previous issue date: 2008 / Resumo: Introdução: A legislação não permite a interrupção da gestação em casos de malformações fetais incompatíveis com a vida extra-uterina, cabendo ao Poder Judiciário decidir quando há uma solicitação deste tipo. Objetivos: Investigar a opinião de Magistrados e membros do Ministério Público sobre o abortamento nos casos de malformações fetais incompatíveis com a vida extra-uterina, especialmente em relação à anencefalia. Método: Análise parcial de dados obtidos em duas pesquisas realizadas pelo Centro de Pesquisas em Saúde Reprodutiva de Campinas (CEMICAMP), que objetivaram estudar a opinião destes profissionais acerca do aborto induzido. Foram obtidos dados de 1493 Magistrados e 2614 Promotores de Justiça. Foi constituído um banco de dados com as informações de interesse das pesquisas originais, analisado com auxílio do programa estatístico SAS versão 9.02, envolvendo análise bivariada e múltipla, por regressão logística. Resultados: Para 78,5% dos Magistrados e 82,6% dos membros do Ministério Público, a interrupção da gestação deveria ser permitida nos casos de qualquer malformação fetal incompatível com a vida extra-uterina. Em casos de diagnóstico de anencefalia, estes valores foram de 79,2% e 84,1%, respectivamente. Na análise multivariada, as variáveis associadas à opinião dos pesquisados foram a religiosidade, importância da religião e das concepções religiosas pessoais sobre as respostas dadas, experiência de gravidez indesejada que resultou em aborto, sexo, estado marital e o fato de possuir filhos. Conclusões: A grande maioria dos Magistrados e membros do Ministério Público foi favorável ao abortamento nas hipóteses estudadas, sendo as variáveis ligadas à religião as que mais influenciaram seu posicionamento / Abstract: Introduction: In Brazil abortion in cases of fetal malformation or anencephaly is prohibited by law.

Det komplexa beslutet : Kvinnors emotionella upplevelser före och efter inducerad abort / The complex decision : Women's emotional experiences before and after induced abortionSvensson, Tina, Nilsson, anna January 2010 (has links)
<p><p>Bakgrund: I Sverige har abort varit lagligt sedan 1975. Kvinnor har rätt att själva fatta abortbeslut fram till graviditetsvecka 18. Varje år görs 30 – 40 000 aborter i Sverige. Abortupplevelsen kan vara emotionellt komplicerad för många kvinnor och varierar beroende på hur kvinnans livssituation ser ut. Syfte: Beskriva kvinnors emotionella upplevelser före och efter inducerad abort. Metod: En litteraturstudie har gjorts, som utgår från femton kvalitativa artiklar, vilka har analyserats och kvalitetsgranskats. Datainsamling utfördes via sökningar i databaserna PsychInfo, PsychArticles, PubMed samt Cinahl. Resultat: Kvinnors emotionella upplevelser vid abortbeslut samt det stöd som ges i samband med aborter påverkar kvinnans fortsatta liv i olika grad. Kvinnor uttrycker att stödet de får i samband med aborter är otillräckligt. Slutsats: För att bespara kvinnorna lidande över lång tid behöver stödet till kvinnorna i abortsituationer utvecklas. Sjuksköterskan bör därför bli medveten om kvinnors komplexa upplevelser för att kunna ge kvinnan det stöd som behövs.</p></p> / <p>Background: In Sweden, abortion has been legal since 1975, giving women the right to make the abortion decision herself until pregnancy week 18. Every year, 30 - 40 000 abortions are conducted in Sweden. The abortion experience can be emotionally difficult for many women, but varies depending on the women’s life situation. Purpose: Describe women’s emotional experiences before and after an induced abortion. Method: A literature review of fifteen qualitative articles was made. They were analyzed and quality assessed. Data collection was conducted through searches in the databases PsychInfo, PsychArticles, PubMed and Cinahl. Results: Women's emotional experiences in the abortion decision and the support she receives in relation to abortion, affect her continued life in varying degrees. Women expressed that the support they received in connection with the abortion were inadequate. Conclusion: In order to spare women suffering over a long period of time, there is a need to develop the support women receive in abortion situations. The nurse should be aware of women's complex experiences in order to give women the support they need.</p>

Some reproductive health indicators in Ukraine : A study with special emphasis on factors behind induced aboartion and perinatal mortalityMogilevkina, Iryna January 2002 (has links)
<p><i>Objectives: </i>To study indicators specifically reflecting the reproductive health of Ukrainian women and to analyse factors behind the indicators. </p><p><i>Methods:</i> Induced abortion and maternal mortality were studied in some countries/regions of the former Soviet Union, using official statistics. Abortion rates, contraceptive practices and intentions in Ukrainian women were analysed by a large self-completion survey in 1996, and by a classroom questionnaire to first year medical students in 1999 in Donetsk, Ukraine. Totally, 1694 women and 689 students participated. Perinatal mortality was studied, applying the Nordic-Baltic perinatal death classification to all cases in the Donetsk region in 1997-98 (n=1126) and in Denmark in 1996 (n=540). Clinical guidelines, use of technology and rates of interventions in the two regions were analysed. </p><p><i>Results:</i> Abortion remains a major method of fertility control and abortion-related mortality contributes to maternal deaths. Perinatal mortality rate is twice as high in the Donetsk region as in Denmark. A substantial proportion of sexually active women do not practice contraception. Modern methods of contraception are not widely used. There is a lack of knowledge in reproductive health issues and negative attitude to OCs. There is a positive attitude towards abortion as an acceptable fertility control method and of having abortion instead of using OCs or IUD. Poor economy is an obstacle to the use of contraceptive methods associated with a cost. Lack of experience with contraception reduces the intention to use any method in the future. Being single, younger than 19 years, living with parents, having a positive attitude towards abortion as fertility control method, having a history of previous childbirth and/or abortion are important factors associated with pregnancy termination. Antepartum deaths of growth-retarded fetuses, intrapartum and neonatal deaths associated with asphyxia are more common in Ukraine than in Denmark, particularly among premature infants. Lack of evidence-based clinical guidelines and adequate resources for fetal monitoring during pregnancy and labour, together with negative attitudes towards, and limited resources for, instrumental delivery, contribute to high perinatal mortality.</p><p><i>Conclusion:</i> Better reproductive education/information of all strata of society is needed. Implementation of evidence-based guidelines in perinatal medicine, where international collaboration can be of great value, should be a matter of high priority. </p>
