Objective: To gain insight into experiences of women and men who have experienced an unintended pregnancy, along with the perspectives of healthcare providers offering decision-making counseling/consultations concerning an unintended pregnancy or abortion.
Design: Semi-structured interviews and focus groups.
Methods: Twenty-five interviews were held with women and men whom experienced an unintended pregnancy, while nineteen healthcare providers participated in four focus groups (May-July 2021).
Results: In addition to partners or other family members, healthcare providers also play a significant role in supporting decision-making. Awareness of decision-making counseling was limited among interviewees, a view shared by the participating providers. Both groups highlighted deficiencies in follow-up care post-abortion or unintended pregnancy, as well as the perceived taboo surrounding unintended pregnancies and abortion.
Conclusion: Decision-making counseling deserves more awareness among the public and healthcare providers. There is also room for improvement regarding follow-up care. Sustained attention to unintended pregnancies and abortions is necessary to reduce the prevailing taboo.
