Study on the Nursing Care Focused on Interactions between Women Who Are Going to Have Abortion and Nurses

本研究旨在阐明护士在与堕胎妇女互动中的想法、行为和反应，并了解现有的规则和护士对堕胎护理的价值观。在方法上，我们运用人种学的方法，在东京都一家妇科诊所进行了为期一年的参与式观察，并(非正式和正式)采访了14名护士。基本上，护士们对待堕胎妇女的方式与对待其他患者的方式一样，但在许多情况下，他们认为与她们保持一定的距离是体贴和合适的。

This study is aimed to elucidate what the nurses think, how they act and respond in the interactions with women who are having abortions, and to get insights of existing rules and the sense of values of nurses towards abortion nursing. As for the method, by applying ethnographic method, we conducted a-year-long participant observation in a gynecological clinic in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and interviewed (informally and formally) fourteen nurses.Basically, the nurses treated the women who were having abortions in the same manner as towards other patients, but in many cases, they regarded it as considerate and appropriate to keep some distance while interacting with them.
