Abstract

Abortion is the interruption of pregnancy, with the death of the product of conception, being considered from 20 to 22 weeks of gestation, when the fetus weighs up to 500 grams or even, when the fetus measures up to 16.5 cm. This study aims to verify the motives presented by women who went through abortion in a municipality of the Rio Pardo Valley in the view of the nurse. The study is a qualitative analysis of descriptive, exploratory character. The research was carried out in two places: the Family Health Strategies and the obstetric sector of a medium-sized hospital. In the data collection, an instrument with a guiding question was applied to nurses from both sites. The analyzed data were placed in a repertoire worksheet and then analyzed by the Content Analysis method. Thirty reasons expressed by women were pointed out by the interviewees, and these were decisive, so that the abortion process would become viable. The most frequent reasons indicated by the nurses were: Decision of the woman to induce abortion; Family and relationship issues; Denial of gestation; Family planning, guidance and information; Feelings of guilt, number of children, miscarriage and medications, and social, cultural and psychological issues. It is concluded that, abortion being a public health problem, needs to be more discussed among all those involved, especially by the nurse, so that they put a new look on the subject. Invest in planned care and continued follow-up in promoting and preventing women's health, offering contraceptive methods and giving information on the subject so that their choices are guided by knowledge.
