In February 2016, Sweden upheld its ban on surrogacy following a Government enquiry. This survey investigated attitudes towards surrogacy among primary health professionals working with children and their experiences of working with families following surrogacy abroad.
From April to November 2016, nurses, physicians and psychologist working in primary child health care in four counties in Sweden were invited to participate in a cross-sectional online survey about surrogacy.
The mean age of the 208 participants was 49.2 years (range 27-68) and nearly 91% were women. Approximately 60% supported legalised surrogacy. Wanting a conscience clause to be introduced in Sweden was associated with not supporting surrogacy for any groups, while personal experiences of infertility and clinical experiences with families following surrogacy were associated with positive attitudes towards surrogacy for heterosexual couples. The majority (64%) disagreed that surrogate children were as healthy as other children, and many believed that they risked worse mental health (21%) and social stigmatisation (21%).
We found that 60% supported legalised surrogacy, but many expressed concerns about the children's health and greater knowledge about the medical and psychosocial consequences of surrogacy is needed.
2016 年 2 月，瑞典在政府调查后维持了代孕禁令。该调查研究了从事儿童保健工作的初级卫生专业人员对代孕的态度，以及他们在国外代孕后处理家庭事务的经验。
2016 年 4 月至 11 月，瑞典四个县从事初级儿童保健工作的护士、医生和心理学家受邀参加了一项关于代孕的横断面在线调查。
208 名参与者的平均年龄为 49.2 岁（范围 27-68 岁），其中近 91%为女性。约 60%的人支持代孕合法化。希望在瑞典引入良心条款与不支持任何群体的代孕有关，而个人的不孕经历和对代孕家庭的临床经验与对异性恋夫妇代孕的积极态度有关。大多数人（64%）不同意代孕儿童与其他儿童一样健康，许多人认为他们有更大的心理健康风险（21%）和社会污名化风险（21%）。
我们发现 60%的人支持代孕合法化，但许多人对儿童的健康表示担忧，需要更多地了解代孕的医学和社会心理后果。
