Abstract:

Treatment of complications of induced abortion may be hampered by abuse and disrespect practiced by healthcare professionals in hospitals and abortion services. This paper recovered stories of abuse and disrespect among women who had an abortion in illegal and unsafe conditions. We interviewed 78 women admitted to a public hospital in Teresina for complications of the induced abortion. We used a semi-structured guide with questions about practices and itineraries of abortion and abuse and disrespect during hospitalization. Moral judgement, threat of complaint to police, default in the control of pain, long wait for curettage, and hospitalization with mothers were main types of abuse and disrespect reported by women. Institutional violence in the care of induced abortion violates the duty of the healthcare service and prevents that women have their health needs met.
