A survey was conducted to explore worries, fears and preparedness relating to the recollected experience of having an induced abortion. The Web-based survey was carried out in Sweden among 185 women. Respondents answered open-ended questions and gave retrospective self-reported ratings about their abortion-related worries, fears, preparedness and satisfaction with information obtained from health professionals and the Web. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis and descriptive statistics. Worries and fears included the abortion process, physical reactions and psychosocial aspects. The abortion was associated with unexpected events, including the abortion process, poor health professional treatment and support, and side effects and complications. Respondents described a lack of preparatory information, leading to uncertainties due to insufficient information. Many searched for Web-based information, but respondents experienced difficulties finding high-quality sources. Respondents also recounted that the preparatory information received did not reflect the actual abortion experience. There is room for improvement with regard to informing, preparing and supporting women who seek an abortion. The results emphasise the importance of health professionals' giving sufficient preparatory information to enable preparedness and lessen the impact of possible unexpected events. There is a need for the development of a trustworthy Web-based service that contains honest and high-quality information.
一项调查旨在探究与回忆人工流产经历相关的担忧、恐惧及准备情况。该基于网络的调查在瑞典的185名女性中开展。受访者回答了开放式问题，并对与流产相关的担忧、恐惧、准备情况以及对从医疗专业人员和网络获得的信息的满意度进行了回顾性自我报告评分。数据采用定性内容分析和描述性统计进行分析。担忧和恐惧包括流产过程、身体反应和心理社会方面。流产与意外事件相关，包括流产过程、医疗专业人员的不良治疗和支持以及副作用和并发症。受访者表示缺乏准备信息，由于信息不足导致存在不确定性。许多人搜索网络信息，但受访者在寻找高质量信息来源时遇到困难。受访者还讲述所收到的准备信息并未反映实际的流产经历。在为寻求流产的女性提供信息、做好准备和给予支持方面仍有改进空间。结果强调了医疗专业人员提供充分准备信息以促成准备工作并减轻可能的意外事件影响的重要性。需要开发一个包含诚实且高质量信息的可靠网络服务。
