大多数关于限制性堕胎法影响的研究都集中在患者层面的结果上。为了更好地了解这些法律如何影响提供者，我们对北卡罗来纳州27名在限制性法律下工作的堕胎提供者进行了定性研究。提供者从他们的动机、价值观和与堕胎有关的自豪感中获得专业身份。法律影响了他们的职业身份，使他们的职业长期处于负面状态，要求改变对病人的护理和沟通，并在职业价值观和法律的义务之间造成冲突。我们的结论是，对堕胎法影响的全面理解应该包括提供者的观点。
Most studies on the impact of restrictive abortion laws have focused on patient-level outcomes. To better understand how such laws affect providers, we conducted a qualitative study of 27 abortion providers working under a restrictive law in North Carolina. Providers derived professional identity from their motivations, values, and experiences of pride related to abortion provision. The law affected their professional identities by perpetuating negative characterizations of their profession, requiring changes to patient care and communication, and creating conflicts between professional values and legal obligations. We conclude that a holistic understanding of the impact of abortion laws should include providers' perspectives.
