Résumé :
|
Previous research reports that a limited proportion of all women are dissatisfied with their overall abortion care and that most do not experience pathological levels of psychological distress. Nevertheless, our results indicate that there is a need for improvement with regard to informing, preparing and supporting women who seek an abortion. Women with experience of induced abortion recollect various worries and fears that they experienced in connection with the abortion process, as well as physical reactions and psychosocial aspects. When women receive insufficient and inaccurate preparatory information, they are at risk of being exposed to unexpected events during and after the abortion. These include events related to the overall abortion process, poor health professional treatment and support, as well as side effects and complications. The results emphasize the importance of health professionals' delivery of sufficient preparatory information to promote preparedness and lessen the impact of possible unexpected events. Those who terminate a pregnancy may decide to use the Web for supplemental information in order to find answers and feel prepared, but high-quality Web-based information can be difficult to identify. There is a need among women for the development of a trustworthy Web-based service that contain honest and high-quality information written by health professionals, as well as the possibility to ask questions online to health professionals.
