RESUMEN
Este artículo se origina en una investigación llevada a cabo mediante metodologías cualitativas de las ciencias sociales. Su objetivo es compartir algunos de los avances del estudio realizado en una clínica del Gobierno del Distrito Federal para explorar los efectos de la implantación de la interrupción legal del embarazo (ILE) en el personal que proporciona este servicio sanitario. Se subraya que además de disminuir los riesgos en la salud de las mujeres, la ILE con misoprostol impulsó un cambio de actitud de muchas usuarias, lo que expresa una disminución de los efectos negativos provocados por el estigma, aunque se sigue detectando la persistencia del estigma en las opiniones del personal sanitario. El fortalecimiento personal de las mujeres que se someten a este procedimiento legal se debe a que llevan a cabo el ejercicio pleno de un derecho.
ABSTRACT
The present contribution is part of a research developed with qualitative social research methods. It offers part of the results attained in a study performed at a clinic belonging to Mexico City´s Government, and explores the effects on staff of the implementation of Legal Pregnancy Termination (ILE, for its initials in Spanish). The results highlights that, besides diminishing health risks in the women who abort, the use of misoprostol prompted assertive attitudes in many women, that reduced the negative effects produced by the stigma of abortion. It also acknowledges the persistence of stigma in the opinions of the health personnel. The empowering of the self-image of women who become subject to this procedure is due to the full exercise of their legal right.
