由「人工流產諮商服務」談跨專業整合的機制

Abortion Counseling: Strategies for Interdisciplinary Service

人工流產一直是醫護、宗教、婦女團體、心理社工等各專業團體所關心的議題，雖然各界對於人工流產及優生保健法修正案持有不同之觀點，但對於應提供人工流產之諮商輔導服務皆有一共識，且要求於諮商過程中應提供婦女完整的資訊，藉以判斷是否要施行人工流產，甚或其他選擇，以協助婦女做決定。本文乃就人工流產諮商服務之緣由、作法與流程、跨專業整合及未來發展方向之建議一一討論，以供關心婦產科醫學和婦女生育相關的身心健康福祉者參考。

Abortion has long been an issue of concern for professional groups in many fields, such as medicine, nursing, religion, feminist rights, psychology, and social work. Although these groups hold differing views on abortion as well as eugenics health care law revision, they share a consensus that counseling services should be provided for abortion in order that women are sufficiently informed to make a sound decision on whether or not to have an abortion. Thus, this paper discusses in detail counseling service in terms of background, workflow and approaches, and interdisciplinary integration, as well as offers suggestions for future development. Hopefully, this can serve as a reference for concerned about women's reproductive health and obstetrics service quality.
