“…Although they say they did something "wrong," these women insist that this was something that needed to be done at that particular moment. This is the same evaluation given by obstetricians and gynecologists who have themselves experienced abortion, as noted by Faúndes et al (2004). For some, there is, indeed, a sense of relief knowing they are no longer pregnant, helped by the ending of symptoms of pregnancy and/or abortion and the return to a state of physical normality.…”

Resumo Discute o aborto pelas perspectivas de mulheres internadas em uma maternidade pública de Salvador (BA). Enfatiza a observação participante do cotidiano do hospital e descreve trabalho de campo com técnicas de pesquisa qualitativa e quantitativa. Por perspectiva etnográfica, aborda a experiência hospitalar de mulheres diante da interrupção, voluntária ou não, da gravidez e apresenta o ponto de vista dos profissionais de saúde, argumentando que a forma pela qual a instituição estrutura a atenção ao aborto e os processos de simbolização a ela imbricados afetam profundamente as experiências das mulheres. Aponta que a discriminação contra as mulheres que abortam está integrada a estrutura, organização e cultura institucionais, e não apenas a ações individuais dos profissionais.

“…Among Brazilian gynecologists, for instance, it was found that abortion tended to be accepted whenever professionals found a moral justifi cation to sacrifi ce a life (the fetus') in favor of another (the mother's), or because the fetus's life had a low expectancy rate (malformation of fetus). f On the other hand, as has been observed among gynecologists, 12 having experienced an abortion is rather signifi cant in determining the opinion of the population sample toward abortion.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the opinion of judges and prosecutors concerning Brazilian abortion law and situations in which the abortion should be allowed. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was performed with 1,493 judges and 2,614 prosecutors in Brazil between 2005 and 2006. Participants completed a structured questionnaire approaching sociodemographic characteristics, opinions about abortion law, and circumstances in which abortion is considered lawful. Bivariate and multivariate analyses of data were carried out through Poisson regression. RESULTS:The majority of participants (78%) found that the circumstances in which abortion is considered lawful should be broadened, or even that abortion should not be criminalized. The highest rates of pro-abortion opinions resulted from: risk to the life of the mother (84%), anencephaly (83%), severe congenital malformation of fetus (82%), and pregnancy resulting from rape (82%). Variables related to religion were strongly associated to the opinion of participants. CONCLUSIONS:There is a trend in considering the need of changing the current abortion law, in the sense of widening the circumstances in which abortion is considered lawful, or even toward decriminalizing abortion, regardless of the circumstances in which it takes place.

“…In the studies including physicians, a high rate of favorable opinions on the relaxation of the abortion restrictions in cases of serious fetal malformations was observed, with percentages ranging between 77% and 89%, whereas the cases of risk to the woman's physical health (without risk of death) had lower acceptance, with rates of 61.4% and 47.4%; all other circumstances were associated with rates of acceptance <50% (Faúndes et al, 2004a;Faúndes et al, 2004b;Loureiro and Vieira, 2004;Goldman et al, 2005;Faúndes et al, 2007a;Faúndes et al, 2007b;De Zordo and Mishtal, 2011).…”

ResumoO objetivo deste artigo é apresentar uma revisão das pesquisas brasileiras quantitativas e qualitativas sobre opiniões, conhecimentos e atitudes de profissionais da saúde sobre o aborto induzido publicadas entre 2001 e 2011. Admitiram-se publicações com amostras compostas por profissionais com quaisquer graus de formação. Os trabalhos foram categorizados segundo características metodológicas: abordagem dos dados, técnica e instrumento para coleta de dados, categorias profissionais incluídas, local da pesquisa, tamanho amostral e técnica de amostragem. Na etapa seguinte, categorizaram-se os temas centrais das pesquisas (por exemplo, aconselhamento genético e anticoncepção de emergên-cia). Finalmente, categorizaram-se os resultados das pesquisas: conhecimento técnico e legal, perspectiva moral, opiniões sobre a lei, opiniões sobre o Sistema Único de Saúde, e atitudes hipotéticas e concretas. As publicações identificadas sugerem ampla aprovação dos casos de aborto atualmente permitidos por lei, mas larga rejeição da criminalização em casos de malformações fetais graves. A maioria das publicações relatou ter investigado profissionais de medicina (especialmente gineco-obstetras) ou de enfermagem, sendo poucos ou inexistentes dados sobre assistentes sociais e psicólogos. Não foram identificados quaisquer instrumentos apresentando dados mínimos de validade, análise de confiabilidade ou adaptação transcultural. Acredita-se que, no futuro, o desenvolvimento de instrumentos com essas qualidades possa facilitar a realização de AbstractThis paper reviews quantitative and qualitative Brazilian research published from 2001 to 2011 on opinions, knowledge, and attitudes of health professionals on abortion. We included publications with samples composed of professionals with some degree of training. The papers were categorized according to methodological characteristics such as data approach and technique and instrument for data collection, and professional categories such as research site, sample size, and sampling technique. Next, we categorized the main themes of research (e.g., genetic counseling and emergency contraception). Finally, we categorized the results of research on technical and legal knowledge, moral perspectives, opinions about the law, opinions about the National Health System, and hypothetical and concrete attitudes. The publications that were identified suggested broad approval of the abortion cases currently allowed by law but high rejection of criminalization in cases of serious fetal malformations. Most articles reported having investigated medical professionals (obstetricians-gynecologists) or nurses, with little or no data on social workers and psychologists. We have not identified any instruments providing minimum data validity, reliability analysis, or cross-cultural adaptation. We believe that, in the future, development of instruments with these qualities could facilitate the implementation of new research on this topic, including greater coverage and diversification of the professional catego...
