Abstract:

This study had as a target to analyze perceptions of health professionals of Fernando Magalhães Public Hospital about practice in front of legal abortion situations. For that, we tried to characterize the professionals interviewed, understand the process of qualifying for assistance of women undergoing abortion and identify professionals’ perceptions about practice in front of legal abortion. Regarding the methodology, we adopted quantitative and qualitative approach. The instruments used were analysis of institutional documentation and semi-structured interviews based on screenplay with informed consent. The results of this research pointed to: inappropriate use of the right to conscientious objection by health professionals; existence of different difficulties faced by professionals in construction of an approach that guarantees access to abortion provided by law; and interference of ethical and religious values as an important element in professional attitude that discourages the practice of legal abortion. It’s recommended the adoption of actions for continuing education of professionals and monitoring of actions recommended by technical standards.
