The objectives of this study were to assess perceptions of women viewing the products of conception after abortion and to assess the feasibility of offering this choice.
Women presenting for abortion at two abortion clinics were given a questionnaire asking if they wished to view the products of conception. A second questionnaire was given to women who had viewed products of conception about their perceptions. Clinic staff members were interviewed after completion of the study.
The study revealed that 152/508 (28.7%) of women having abortions chose to view the products of conception and 98/122 (83.1%) found that viewing did not make it harder emotionally. Older women and those who had children were less likely to want to view products of conception (p=.037) and more likely to find it harder if they did (p=.05). All 11 clinic staff members interviewed were positive about offering this service.
It is feasible to offer women having abortions the choice to view the products of conception and for most, viewing does not make it emotionally harder for them.
本研究旨在评估女性对流产后胚胎组织的观感，并评估提供此选择的可行性。
在两家流产诊所，对前来流产的女性进行问卷调查，询问她们是否希望查看胚胎组织。对已经查看胚胎组织的女性进行第二份问卷调查，了解她们的观感。在研究完成后，对诊所工作人员进行访谈。
研究表明，508 名接受流产手术的女性中，有 152 名（28.7%）选择查看胚胎组织，98 名（83.1%）女性认为查看不会增加情感负担。年龄较大的女性和有孩子的女性不太愿意查看胚胎组织（p=.037），如果查看，她们会觉得更难（p=.05）。接受访谈的 11 名诊所工作人员均对提供此项服务表示支持。
为接受流产手术的女性提供查看胚胎组织的选择是可行的，对大多数女性来说，查看不会增加她们的情感负担。
