Until April 1990 abortion was illegal in Belgium all circumstances. However, a small group of health professionals had long provided high-quality abortion services in outpatient facilities and in hospitals. This study is a qualitative analysis of perceptions among providers of safe abortion in Belgium before and after it was made legal there. The providers' personal, psychological, and ethical reactions to abortion are investigated, as well as their opinions on how their activities should be organized in order to minimize problems. Standardized questionnaires with closed and open questions were used; 143 questionnaires were completed. Emotional reactions were reported as being the most difficult aspects of practicing abortion. The experience of Belgian practitioners is of value for health professionals working in a legally restricted setting who are willing to assume some judicial risks to facilitate legal change while demonstrating the public health utility of low-cost, safe abortion.
直到1990年4月，比利时在所有情况下堕胎都是非法的。然而，一小群医疗专业人员长期以来一直在门诊设施和医院提供高质量的堕胎服务。本研究是对比利时堕胎合法化前后安全堕胎提供者观念的定性分析。调查了提供者对堕胎的个人、心理和伦理反应，以及他们对如何组织活动以尽量减少问题的看法。使用了包含封闭式和开放式问题的标准化问卷；共完成了143份问卷。情绪反应被报告为实施堕胎最困难的方面。比利时从业者的经验对于在法律限制环境中工作、愿意承担一些司法风险以推动法律变革同时证明低成本、安全堕胎的公共卫生效用的医疗专业人员具有价值。
