“… 10 Predominantly Muslim countries tend to have a less favorable view of abortions. 20 - 22 While all 3 religions consider abortions to be sinful in nature, Buddhism seems to have a gentler view than the other two. 22 , 23 Healthcare providers may experience moral distress and internal conflict when they encounter situations that oppose their religious beliefs; training programs that allow for open discussion and non-judgmental exchange develops moral resilience that improves knowledge uptake and more harmonious patient care.…”

In 2021, Thailand decriminalized abortions to allow for legal abortions on request up to 12 weeks’ gestation and conditionally up to 20 weeks’ gestation, or in the case of sexual assault, maternal mental or physical harm, or fetal abnormality. We intend to say that healthcare practitioners’ positive attitudes toward abortion will destigmatize abortion for both themselves and their patients. We explored the knowledge, attitudes, and intended practices of nursing students toward safe abortion practices in light of the recent law reform. This was a cross-sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 4 parts: a demographic information questionnaire; and measures to assess their knowledge, moral attitudes, and intended practice regarding safe abortion care. Questionnaires were sent to 206 nursing students who had completed the Midwifery and Maternal-Newborn Nursing rotation in Bangkok, Thailand. The survey response rate was 90.8%. Mean (standard deviation) knowledge score was 6.72 (1.86) out of 10. Buddhist students were more likely to have a positive attitude toward abortions. Most students intended to practice safe abortions in pregnancies that affect maternal physical or mental health, or in pregnancies that resulted from unlawful sexual contact. Students were more ambivalent toward abortion practices for socioeconomic reasons. Better knowledge of abortion legislation was associated with a more positive attitude toward abortions and safe abortion practice intention. Approximately 1 year after the abortion law reform in Thailand, nursing students had incomplete knowledge of the amendment. Most students were inclined to provide abortion care services for certain conditions.

Islamic bioethics and modern globalization values collide as global forces permeate Muslim-majority countries, necessitating thoughtful integration to foster mutual understanding. This research explores Islamic perspectives on biomedical advances to identify areas of convergence and divergence with globalized values. Utilizing theoretical analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization, notable findings emerged. While globalization promotes unhindered medical procedures, Islamic bioethics exhibits nuanced positions reflecting the lack of unity of Islam. Key results showed Islamic bioethics aligns with global values on some procedures, like organ transplantation and early abortion, but diverges on assisted reproduction, surrogate motherhood and active euthanasia due to moral prohibitions. Ultimately, this research highlights the importance of gradual integration that respects Islamic traditions, paired with education to increase understanding and openness to bioethical evolution. Thoughtful navigation of the intricate nexus between globalization and Islamic bioethics can enable pursuit of life-affirming medical advancement without sacrificing core values.
