What do women want during medical abortion?

Abstract:

:A questionnaire study was carried out to investigate the needs of women undergoing a medical abortion induced by mifepristone in combination with either gemeprost pessaries or oral misoprostol. One-hundred-and-eighty women undergoing medical abortion of pregnancy of up to 63 days amenorrhoea were randomised to treatment in the sitting-room (treatment room) or in the ward. Overall, 77% and 69% treated in the sitting-room and ward, respectively, would have preferred treatment in the sitting-room. Fifty-four per cent did not wish their partner or friend to be present and 76% would prefer to stay in hospital following administration of prostaglandin. Ninety-five per cent of the patients would recommend this method of abortion to their friends. Women who received misoprostol required significantly less analgesia than women who were given 1 mg gemeprost as a vaginal pessary. The requirement for opiate analgesia was not influenced by parity, gestation of pregnancy, history of dysmenorrhoea or the dose of mifepristone. Almost 100% of the patients were satisfied with this method of treatment. This study indicates that the majority of women undergoing medical abortion prefer to be treated in a group, a method which is highly cost-effective.
