“…In Portugal, the interruption of pregnancy on women's request can be seen as a way of regulating fertility in order to limit births of unwanted pregnancies ( 107 ). A study revealed that more than 95% of all interruptions of pregnancy performed in the country, were performed in hospital settings ( 86 , 108 ). In 2018, 20% of all women who interrupted their pregnancy in Portugal were foreigners (i.e., 3.098 in 11.827) ( 86 , 108 , 109 ).…”

Although there are several causes of unintended pregnancy, one of the most important tools that can help in preventing them is the timely use of emergency contraception and access to primary health facilities that provide family planning services.…”

“…In the Good Practices dimension, apart from the low “ no opinion” rate, there is an observed outlier concerning the “ Greater coverage of the reasons why abortion is permitted” item. In Portugal, two referendums were needed to stablish that voluntary abortion was no longer illegal when performed up to the 10th gestational week in official or officially accredited health services since 2007, thus voluntary abortion remains a fracturing issue in Portuguese society ( 108 , 138 ).…”

The increasing number of international migrants (ranging from 153 million in 1990 to ~272 million in 2019) brought to attention the wide variation of national contexts concerning the policy measures to protect migrants' rights and ensuring their equal access to basic and essential services, namely in health. Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) is a key component to the overall health and quality of life and is impacted by power inequities inherent to society's institutions, environment, economics, and culture. In Portugal, guidelines for intervention in SRH are insufficient, a gap that is more pronounced with migrant populations due to the absence of culturally sensitive indicators to assess and monitor SRH. The aim of this work was 2-fold: to identify good practices in the SRH field, with a particular focus, whenever possible, on migrant populations, and to identify relevant and inclusive indicators to monitor SRH in Portugal. A Delphi panel (via online survey) with 66 experts (researchers, teachers, and health professionals) and 16 stakeholders (non-governmental organizations, civil society, and governmental organizations) was implemented in two rounds. Panelists were asked to state their level of agreement (5-point Likert-type scale) regarding four different SRH areas: Sexual Health, Reproductive Health, Social-Structural Factors, and Good Practices. Items were based on literature review and a World Café with 15 experts and stakeholders. Participation rate was 68% and response rate was 97% on the first round. From the initial list of 142 items, a total of 118 (83%) items were approved by consensus. Findings may provide extended opportunities for the healthcare system to engage in better informed decisions and more inclusive and integrative strategies regarding SRH, contributing to build political measures toward sexual and reproductive justice.

“…In Portugal, since 2007, and after a National Referendum, the voluntary termination of pregnancy until 10 weeks of gestation was legalized (law n°16/2007). In that same legal document, it is stated that in case of danger of death or physical and/or psychic injury, the possibility of interrupting the pregnancy until 12 weeks of gestation is allowed (48).…”

Cancer During Pregnancy: How to Handle the Bioethical Dilemmas?—A Scoping Review With Paradigmatic Cases-Based Analysis

et al. 2020

Ethical issues that arise during the care of a pregnant woman with cancer are challenging to physicians, policymakers, lawyers, and the bioethics community. The main purpose of this scoping review is to summarize existing literature regarding the bioethical dilemmas when a conflict arises in the maternal-fetus dyad, like the one related to cancer and pregnancy outcomes. Moreover, we illustrate the decision-making process of real-life case reports. Published data were searched through the PubMed and Google Scholar databases, as well as in grey literature, using appropriate controlled keywords in English and Portuguese. After identification, screening, eligibility and data extraction from the articles, a total of 50 was selected. There are several established ethical frameworks for conflict resolution and decision-making. Pragmatic theoretical approaches include case-based analysis, the ethics of care, feminist theory, and traditional ethical principlism that scrutinizes the framework of autonomy, justice, beneficence, and non-maleficence. In addition, society and practitioner values could mediate this complex ethical interplay. The physician must balance autonomy and beneficence-based obligations to the pregnant woman with cancer, along with beneficence-based obligations to the fetus. Ethical challenges have received less attention in the literature, particularly before the third trimester of pregnancy. Best, unbiased and balanced information must be granted both to the patient and to the family, regarding the benefits and harms for the woman herself as well as for the fetal outcome. Based on a previously validated method for analyzing and working up clinical ethical problems, we suggest an adaptation of an algorithm for biomedical decision-making in cancer during pregnancy, including recommendations that can facilitate counseling and help reduce the suffering of the patient and her family.

“…In Portugal, before the decriminalization of abortion, the estimated number of abortions was 20,000 per year. However, the exact number was unknown until 2006, when voluntary termination of pregnancy (TOP) was decriminalized up to ten weeks of pregnancy [3]. Although there has been a decreasing trend in the number of TOP since 2011, data from the General Health Directorate (DGS) tell us that 14,899 TOP were performed, with the risk of repetition up to 2 years being 6.8%, where 29.3% of women had previously conducted an TOP [4].…”

Background: Half of the pregnancies worldwide are unplanned and are related to failures, non-use, incorrect use and/or discontinued contraceptive methods. Nurses are essential health promotion agents, which includes contraceptive counselling, which promotes decision-making regarding the most appropriate contraceptive method. We want to understand midwives' perceptions of the aspects that promote decision-making for a contraceptive method by women in the process of termination of pregnancy. Methods: Descriptive study method with a qualitative approach using a focus group interview. Five midwives participated in the termination of pregnancy consultation at a hospital in Lisbon, and Vale do Tejo in Portugal, in August 2020. We carried out a content analysis of the participants' speeches with the help of the methodology advocated by Bardin and the use of the WebQdA® software. Main Results: Midwives point to sociocultural and economic aspects, age and lack of literacy as conditioning factors in choosing a contraceptive method. Conclusions: Understanding the factors that drive women's contraceptive choices can promote interventions that promote sexual and reproductive health.
