The present study was undertaken to investigate the opinions of health professionals working in family planning clinics in Italy and Sweden. The comparison of two such different countries seemed of interest both to describe differences and/or similarities between the samples as well as to analyze factors that could influence professionals' opinions regarding abortion. A questionnaire was distributed to doctors, nurses and social workers in family planning clinics in Rome, Italy and in Gothenburg, Sweden. The opinions of the health professionals in the two countries investigated were similar in many respects, both regarding their attitudes to abortion as well as their considerations concerning the care offered to the woman/couple undergoing an abortion. Fifty-nine percent of the Italian sample and 68% of the Swedish sample considered abortion justifiable on the same indications as those laid down in the laws, while 36% of the Italian and 32% of the Swedish professionals considered it justifiable only on medical grounds and 5% in the Italian sample did not justify abortion at all. In both Italy and Sweden, doctors as well as nurses suggest that the preventive work should be increased and that the psychological care for women undergoing abortion has to be improved.
本研究旨在调查意大利和瑞典计划生育诊所中卫生专业人员的意见。比较这两个如此不同的国家似乎很有意义，既可以描述样本之间的差异和/或相似之处，也可以分析可能影响专业人员对堕胎看法的因素。向意大利罗马和瑞典哥德堡的计划生育诊所的医生、护士和社会工作者发放了问卷。在接受调查的两国卫生专业人员中，他们在许多方面的意见相似，包括对堕胎的态度以及对接受堕胎的妇女/夫妇提供护理的考虑。意大利样本中有59%、瑞典样本中有68%认为在与法律规定相同的指征下堕胎是合理的，而意大利36%、瑞典32%的专业人员认为仅在医学理由下是合理的，意大利样本中有5%认为堕胎完全不合理。在意大利和瑞典，医生和护士都建议应加强预防工作，并且必须改善对接受堕胎妇女的心理护理。
