A study of 197 women referred for termination of pregnancy on psychiatric grounds was undertaken from February 1974 to May 1975 at a specially established clinic in the Department of Psychiatry, Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town. The personal, social and specifically psychiatric information collected from this study, which included both women who were refused and those granted termination on psychiatric grounds, was analysed. We gained enough data to focus on the psychosocial and 'hard' psychiatric data, to statistically compare the two groups, and to isolate variables which appeared to have influenced decision-making. Eighty per cent of the women were followed up for 12 - 18 months.
1974年2月至1975年5月，在开普敦格罗特·舒尔医院精神病科的一家专门设立的诊所，对197名因精神原因前来终止妊娠的妇女进行了一项研究。从这项研究中收集了个人、社会以及具体的精神方面的信息，其中包括被拒绝终止妊娠的妇女和因精神原因获准终止妊娠的妇女，并对这些信息进行了分析。我们获得了足够的数据，以便关注心理社会和“硬性”精神数据，对两组进行统计学比较，并找出似乎影响决策的变量。80%的妇女接受了12至18个月的随访。
