- W2140892810 abstract "Sixty-three women students of the health care professions were surveyed about their abortion and post-abortion experiences, feelings, and attitudes. Variables predictive of short- and long-term adjustment, belief in the wisdom of the choice, and right to choose were analysed, as were effects on emotional and attitudinal responses of passage of time and pressure to abort. Most reported mild, transient, short-term negative effects, and generally benign long-term effects. Implications of the findings are discussed.To assess the existence of a post-abortion syndrome, a questionnaire was mailed to 554 Midwestern US women in training programs to become psychologists, nurses, or physicians. Of the 338 (61%) who responded, 63 indicated a past history of abortion and provided detailed information on their post-abortion adjustment. The abortions were performed between 1963-86; 1978 was the median year. The average age at the time of abortion was 21.3 years, while the mean age of respondents at the time of the survey was 30 years. Most (72%) reported irregular or no contraceptive use before the pregnancy that was aborted. The main reasons for choosing abortion were: too young or not ready for a child (22%), potential interference with educational and career goals (19%), and financial problems in raising a child (14%). 75% received no pre-abortion counseling, although 16% subsequently entered therapy to deal with abortion-related issues. 86% still believed their abortion was a wise choice. The emotional sequelae of abortion reported by these health professionals correspond with those found in other studies: some mild distress, including guilt, depression, and anxiety, in the 3 months following the abortion followed by relief and a return to baseline mood. Also consistent with the literature was the finding of a significant association between adequate preparation for the procedure and confidence in the abortion decision and long-term adjustment. An unexpected finding was more favorable long-term adjustment in women whose sexual partners either opposed or were not informed about the abortion decision. Finally, women who recalled pressure to abort experienced more short-term symptoms and were, at the time of the survey, less supportive of abortion rights than women who were not pressured." @default.
