  • Attitudes and Opinions of Young Gynecologists on Pregnancy Termination: Results of a Cross-Sectional Survey in Poland.
    International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020
    Co-Authors: Kornelia Zaręba, Michał Ciebiera, Valentina Lucia La Rosa, Ewelina Kołb-sielecka, Rosalia Ragusa, Jacek Gierus, Elena Commodari, Grzegorz Jakiel
    Abstract:

    Background: This paper aims to explore the attitudes and opinions of a group of Polish young gynecologists toward Pregnancy Termination. Method: An anonymous questionnaire was completed by physicians who participated in obligatory trainee courses held in 2019 in Warsaw. Results: The study group included 71 physicians with an average age of 29 years (SD 3.05). A considerable number of the physicians accepted Terminations for medical reasons up to the end of Pregnancy, especially in cases of lethal defects (46%) and a serious disease in the mother (34%). Only 6% of the group of gynecologists not performing Terminations claimed that the procedure was contrary to their conscience, and 62% of them stated that such procedures were not performed at their hospital. Terminations would be performed by 90% of the respondents in cases of lethal defects of the fetus and by 80% if severe irreversible fetal defects were diagnosed. Conclusions: The main problem associated with the inaccessibility of Pregnancy Termination in Poland is not linked to individuals, meaning medical personnel and the possibility of invoking the conscience clause, but probably to the lack of approval for Terminations granted by hospital supervisors. Adequate knowledge on Pregnancy Termination procedures, fetal defects, and diseases in the mother translated into the changes of opinions on Pregnancy Terminations.

  • Emotional Complications in Midwives Participating in Pregnancy Termination Procedures—Polish Experience
    International journal of environmental research and public health, 2020
    Co-Authors: Kornelia Zaręba, Jolanta Banasiewicz, Hanna Rozenek, Michał Ciebiera, Grzegorz Jakiel
    Abstract:

    Background: Ethically controversial medical procedures, such as the Termination of Pregnancy, are frequently associated with a discrepancy between personal attitude and values versus requirements related to a professional situation. The study aimed to assess emotional complications in midwives participating in Pregnancy Termination procedures. Methods: The study included 181 midwives working in state-governed healthcare facilities in central and eastern Poland. The Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) and the present authors’ own questionnaire were used in the study. The results indicating the level of occupational burnout were presented in two scales: the exhaustion scale and the disengagement scale. Results: The study revealed that 48% of midwives had never participated in Pregnancy Termination procedures due to fetal defects. The level of occupational burnout described with the exhaustion factor (t = 2.06; p < 0.041) and disengagement factor (t = 2.96; p < 0.003) was significantly higher in the group of midwives participating in Pregnancy Termination procedures due to fetal defects than in the group of midwives who did not participate in Pregnancy Terminations. The most common factors contributing to burnout reported by midwives who participated in Pregnancy Terminations were: moral dilemmas (68%), seeing the aborted fetus (65%), anticipating the child’s death in case it was born with signs of life (59%) and the lack of professional psychological support for medical personnel (56%). Conclusions: Importantly, Pregnancy Termination should be performed by persons who find such procedures acceptable from the viewpoint of their value system. It is a protective factor in regards to work with women who undergo Terminations. Moreover, developing a system of informational and psychological support for midwives participating in Pregnancy Termination procedures is also a significant aspect.

    The European journal of contraception & reproductive health care : the official journal of the European Society of Contraception, 2017

    Abstract:

    AbstractObjectives: We explored the religious views and dilemmas of Polish women making the decision to terminate a Pregnancy. The article discusses the highly restrictive legislation and significant influence of the Church on the lives of Polish citizens.Methods: This study was designed to investigate the effect of religious and political beliefs, social and moral conditioning and professional support on the decision to abort a fetus. A 65-item questionnaire was administered to 60 participants at the time of their Pregnancy Termination.Results: Pregnancy Termination was performed outside the resident county in 32% of cases. Approximately 88% of respondents declared themselves Catholic, but only 22% intended to admit to the Pregnancy Termination during confession. Five percent of respondents feared the reaction of the priest, while the remaining respondents did not perceive Termination of Pregnancy for medical reasons as a sin. Of the women who had previously opposed Pregnancy Termination, 27% changed the...
