- W3015600919 abstract "Globally, a growing proportion of induced abortions are medical abortions. The procedure has been hailed as a revolutionary technology, which, according to experts, has the potential to transform women’s experiences of abortion and the way abortion services are accessed. Noticeably absent in the discourse, however, are women’s voices. More specifically, there is a lack of understanding about what shapes women’s preferences for medical abortion and the challenges they experience in accessing the drugs for the procedure. We conducted a systematic review of the literature to draw attention to these important issues which exist, but are often embedded within research highlighting other dominating aspects of medical abortions. A comprehensive search of four databases - supplemented by searching reference sections of selected articles, tracking their citations, and hand searching special editions on medical abortion - was conducted. A total of 45 peer-reviewed studies met our inclusion criteria. The studies were assessed for quality and analyzed using a critical interpretive synthesis approach. The findings revealed significant variations in women’s preferences for surgical versus medical abortions. Country-specific abortion laws, implementing protocols, side-effects, rates of failures, and the need to verify the abortion shaped women’s preference for abortion methods. Overall, women who preferred medical abortions did so because they perceived it as a ‘natural’ and safe procedure that can be self-conducted at home, thereby reducing their dependency on the health system. However, women face significant barriers to medical abortion care. These include legal requirements around type of provider, site of service, need for follow-up, providers’ limited knowledge of the procedure, and preferences for surgical abortions. Borderless internet-based services have enabled some women to circumvent these barriers. Our review suggests that medical abortions are used by women either in countries where the health system is fully supportive or where the health system is completely disengaged, usually due to restricted abortion laws. In those countries where abortions are legal but often difficult to access due to health system barriers, women tend to prefer surgical abortions." @default.
