ABSTRACT

Resumo O tratamento das complicações do aborto provocado pode ser dificultado por atitudes de discriminação praticadas por profissionais de saúde nos hospitais e serviços de aborto. Este artigo recuperou histórias de violência institucional entre mulheres que provocaram o aborto em condições ilegais e inseguras. Foram entrevistadas 78 mulheres internadas em um hospital público de referência em Teresina por complicações do aborto provocado. Utilizou-se roteiro semiestruturado com perguntas sobre práticas e itinerários de aborto e violência institucional durante a internação. Práticas discriminatórias e de maus-tratos durante a assistência foram relatadas por 26 mulheres, principalmente entre aquelas que confessaram a indução do aborto. Julgamento moral, ameaças de denúncia à polícia, negligência no controle da dor, longa espera pela curetagem uterina e internação conjunta com puérperas foram os principais tipos de violência institucional narrados. As práticas de violência institucional na assistência ao aborto provocado violam o dever de acolhimento do serviço de saúde e impedem que as mulheres tenham suas necessidades de saúde atendidas.


Abstract Treatment of complications resulting from induced abortion may be hampered by discriminatory attitudes manifested by healthcare professionals in hospitals and abortion services. This article retrieved stories of institutional abuse directed at women who had an induced abortion in illegal and unsafe conditions. Seventy-eight women admitted to a public hospital in Teresina for complications after an induced abortion were interviewed. A semi-structured script was used with questions about practices and itineraries of abortion and institutional violence during hospitalization. Discriminatory practices and maltreatment during care were reported by 26 women, especially among those who confessed to induction of the abortion. Moral judgement, threat of filing a complaint to the police, negligence in the control of pain, long wait for uterine curettage, and hospitalization with mothers who have recently given birth were the main types of institutional violence reported by women. Cases of institutional violence in the care of induced abortion violates the duty of the healthcare service and prevents women from receiving the necessary health care.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Discute o aborto pelas perspectivas de mulheres internadas em uma maternidade pública de Salvador (BA). Enfatiza a observação participante do cotidiano do hospital e descreve trabalho de campo com técnicas de pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa. Por perspectiva etnográfica, aborda a experiência hospitalar de mulheres diante da interrupção, voluntária ou não, da gravidez e apresenta o ponto de vista dos profissionais de saúde, argumentando que a forma pela qual a instituição estrutura a atenção ao aborto e os processos de simbolização a ela imbricados afetam profundamente as experiências das mulheres. Aponta que a discriminação contra as mulheres que abortam está integrada a estrutura, organização e cultura institucionais, e não apenas a ações individuais dos profissionais.


Abstract The article discusses abortion and miscarriage from the perspective of women admitted to a public maternity hospital in Salvador (BA), Brazil. Based on qualitative and quantitative research, it draws on participant observation of everyday hospital life. Taking an ethnographic approach, it addresses the hospital experiences of women who had miscarriages or induced abortions, also presenting the views of health professionals. It argues that the way the institution structures care for abortion and miscarriage involves symbolic processes that profoundly affect women’s experiences. The discrimination against women who have had abortions/miscarriages is an integral part of the structure, organization and culture of these institutions, and does not derive solely from the individual actions of healthcare personnel.

ABSTRACT

Abstract This paper examines the double life of misoprostol in Brazil, where it is illegally used by women as an abortifacient and legally used in obstetric hospital wards. Based on my doctoral and post-doctoral anthropological research on contraception and abortion in Salvador, Bahia, this paper initially traces the “conversion” of misoprostol from a drug to treat ulcers to a self-administered abortifacient in Latin America, and its later conversion to aneclectic global obstetric tool. It then shows how, while reducing maternal mortality, its use as an illegal abortifacient has reinforced the double reproductive citizenship regime existing in countries with restrictive abortion laws and poor post-abortion care services, where poor women using it illegally are stigmatised, discriminated against and exposed to potentially severe health risks.


Resumo O artigo examina a vida dupla do misoprostol no Brasil, onde ele é usado ilegalmente por mulheres como um facilitador do aborto, e legalmente, em alas de obstetrícia de hospitais. Utilizei minhas pesquisas antropológicas de doutorado e pós-doutorado sobre contracepção e aborto em Salvador, Bahia. Começo retratando a “conversão” do misoprostol, medicamento usado para tratar úlceras, em um facilitador do aborto autoadministrado na América Latina, e sua conversão em uma ferramenta de obstetrícia global. Apesar da redução da mortalidade materna, seu uso como um método abortivo ilegal reforçou a dupla cidadania reprodutiva em países com restrições abortivas e pouca assistência pós-aborto, onde mulheres pobres que usam o método ilegal são estigmatizadas, discriminadas e expostas a potenciais riscos à saúde.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: The unplanned pregnancy is a common occurrence in women of reproductive age and at any social status since it is a critical and vital situation that forces women to make a decision. Despite being a public health issue, the act of voluntarily terminating a pregnancy is circumscribed to the clandestine, hidden, private sphere, due to the restrictive legal contexts that dominate the subject. The lack of professional assistance in these situations represents a risk to the health and lives of women. OBJECTIVE: In this article we propose to visualize the meanings and senses that each woman assigns to the process, the reflection about the subjective impact and the eventually psychological effects of the practice; we introduce the conclusions reached from the analysis of the stories of women who went through this process from the notification of an unplanned pregnancy, decision making and the practice of it, in a context of illegality; with the professional support that is provided from the Integrated Counseling in Sexual and Reproductive Health. This counseling is part of the public policies to reduce risk and damage from induced abortions. CONCLUSION: In this context and through the professional accompaniment the words appear in order to elaborate, psychically and symbolically, the effects that the voluntary pregnancy interruption in women produces. The meanings that each woman gives to abortion depends on the appeal from that experience, either as a drama that shocks and destabilizes the mental equilibrium, a critical event but surmountable, or an opportunity to reaffirm their autonomy.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A gravidez precoce e não planejada pode gerar problemas a curto e a longo prazo em função de as adolescentes não terem suporte físico e emocional consolidado e favorecer situação de conflito com a família, como a rejeição, críticas, punições. Objetivos: Verificar a associação entre reação familiar e do companheiro diante das mulheres que ficaram grávidas na adolescência e a presença de sentimentos negativos com relação ao bebê e tendência de interrupção da gestação. Metodologia: O trabalho realizado foi um estudo observacional, transversal e descritivo onde foram entrevistadas 104 mulheres que haviam engravidado antes dos 18 anos, residentes na Vila União, CanoasRS. Resultados: Quando a reação familiar com relação à gravidez na adolescência foi muito boa ou boa, as entrevistadas (90,5% e 96,0% consecutivamente) não apresentaram sentimentos negativos com relação aos seus bebês. Conclusão: A maioria das entrevistadas tentou interromper a gestação quando a reação do companheiro foi negativa. Isso também foi verificado com relação aos sentimentos negativos com relação ao bebê (AU)


Introduction: Unplanned early pregnancy can generate short ­ and long-term problems for teenage girls because of their lack of consolidated material and emotional support and the resulting conflict situations with their families, such as rejection, criticism, and punishment.

Material and Methods: This is an observational, transversal, descriptive and prospective study in which 104 women living in Vila União, Canoas ­ RS were interviewed. All subjects had become pregnant before 18 years of age. Results: When the family reaction to teenage pregnancy was good or very good, the interviewees (90.5% and 96.0% consecutively) showed no negative feelings toward their babies. Conclusion: Most of the interviewees tried to interrupt the pregnancy when the partner reaction was negative. This was also seen concerning negative feelings toward the baby (AU)

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: In the last decade, important advances were made in the struggle for reproductive rights in Mexico. The goal of this study was to discover the opinions of decision-makers about the grounds for legal abortion as well as to explore their perceptions about further liberalization of abortion laws countrywide. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In-depth interviews were conducted with eight prominent decision-makers working in governmental health, law and social institutions as well as representatives of political parties. RESULTS: Six decision-makers favored a further liberalization of abortion laws. They proposed several strategies to move forward with liberalization. Two decision-makers were against abortion under all circumstances. CONCLUSIONS: Three factors seem to play a key role in the liberalization of abortion: a liberal party governing at the state level, a favorable public opinion and the pressure of NGOs promoting reproductive rights. A state-by-state approach seems more effective for generating changes in abortion laws.


OBJETIVO: En la última década se realizaron avances importantes en la lucha por los derechos reproductivos en México. El objetivo del estudio fue conocer las opiniones de tomadores de decisiones (TD) sobre las causales para un aborto legal, así como explorar sus percepciones sobre la liberalización de las leyes en todo el país. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad con ocho TD de instituciones gubernamentales de asuntos sociales, legales y de salud, así como representantes de partidos políticos. RESULTADOS: Seis entrevistados favorecieron la liberalización de las leyes y propusieron varias estrategias para realizarla. Dos entrevistados estuvieron en contra del aborto bajo cualquier circunstancia. CONCLUSIONES: En la liberalización del aborto, tres factores parecen tener un papel relevante: un partido liberal gobernando estatalmente, una opinión pública favorable y la presión de ONG que promueven los derechos reproductivos. El trabajo estatal parece ser más efectivo para generar cambios en las leyes del aborto.

ABSTRACT

La objeción de conciencia consiste en el incumplimiento de una obligación de naturaleza legal, cuya realización produciría en el individuo una grave lesión de la propia conciencia. Desde los mismos orígenes del Estado de Derecho, el respeto a la libertad de conciencia ha sido considerado uno de los derechos más fundamentales, ya que se presupone que la libertad y la dignidad humanas se encuentran por encima del mismo Estado.El derecho a la objeción de conciencia puede entenderse como la dimensión externa de la libertad ideológica y de conciencia. Este derecho, pilar esencial en todo Estado de Derecho, posee especial relevancia en el debate bioético, al tratarse de una vía muy adecuada para solucionar, en un sistema democrático, los inevitables conflictos que genera la tensión entre legalidad y justicia.En las últimas décadas, el derecho a la objeción de conciencia ha desarrollado toda su virtualidad en aquellos países en los que se han aprobado leyes despenalizadoras del aborto. Las profesiones sanitarias tienen un horizonte y un sentido claros: el cuidado y el respeto de la vida, la salud y la integridad de todos los seres humanos. En consecuencia, cuando una norma legal vulnera o contradice este principio, surgen sólidas razones para fundamentar el derecho a la objeción de conciencia de los sanitarios

ABSTRACT

A study was carried out to determine the association between unintended pregnancy and pre- and postpartum depression in 163 women in Kermanshah city, Islamic Republic of Iran. Using the self-administered Beck Depression Inventory for educated women and a special interview for illiterate women, 105 intended and 58 unintended pregnancies were studied. Of the 58 women with unintended pregnancy, 43% reported attempting to abort the fetus. Depression at 37 weeks' gestation was slightly higher in the unintended than the intended pregnancy group [53.4% versus 41.0%; relative risk = 1.3] and depression 10 days postpartum was much higher in the unintended group [48.7% versus 25.6%; relative risk = 1.9]. Screening for depression is recommended for pregnant women with unintended pregnancy
