Midwives may react emotionally in situations where teenagers ignore advice on contraception by rejecting the use of contraceptives and preferring early abortions as a contraceptive method. The results strengthen the suggestion that caregivers need support in reflecting on how to deal with conflicts of values that may otherwise hinder them in communicating effectively with teenagers and encounter their life-worlds and in challenging their individual assumptions on the shortcomings of using contraceptives.

(Sub-study II), - Young men’s experiences of their girlfriends’ abortions in early pregnancy (Sub-study III), - Midwives’ experiences of tending young people who were seeking and undergoing abortion in early pregnancy (Sub-study IV). The theoretical perspective of the dissertation is grounded in phenomenological hermeneutics and a life world perspective. The ten young women in sub-studies I–II were recruited from two youth clinics and two gynaecology outpatient clinics. In sub-study I the young women were interviewed 4–20 days prior to...

Projektet riktades till 17 000 ungdomar per år under åren 1989-1994 genom att utbilda de vuxna som i sin yrkesutövning regelbundet möter dessa ungdomar. Vilken betydelse har projektet haft för utveckling av tonårsaborter? Är det över huvud taget meningsfullt att försöka förebygga.

Methods: Narrative interviews were conducted with ten 18-20-year-old women 2-6 weeks after a medical or surgical abortion in the sixth to twelfth week of pregnancy. Data were analysed according to a phenomenological hermeneutic method. Results: The study disclosed a multitude of complex meanings in the young women's lived experiences of induced abortion. Four themes were revealed: having cared for and protected the unimagined pregnancy, taking the life of my child-to-be with pain, being sensitive to the approval of others and imagining the taken away child-tobe. The results are discussed in light of Nussbaum's theory of development ethics. The young women's ability to be responsible for their choices regarding their own welfare and others' well-being in a life cycle perspective was disclosed, despite the pain inherent in the responsibility of taking the life of their own child-to-be. Conclusions: The young women's narratives were replete with ethical reasoning regarding existential matters related to their responsibility of choosing between induced abortion and parenthood and how to live their lives with this experience. Health-care professionals could promote young women's capability to be responsible, as well as the development of trust in their own fertility and constructive relationships with significant others. In the development of the prevention of unintended pregnancies and the sexual education of young people in Sweden existential dimensions of undergoing an abortion should be given attention.

A phenomenological-hermeneutic study disclosed a complex life world summarised as "I'm happy about my fertility but I choose not to give life now." Four themes were revealed: encountering an unexpected understanding of oneself and one's fertility, desiring to be understood by trusted others, trying out different positions in relation to pregnancy and abortion, and approaching planned adult motherhood. The results indicate that addressing young women's concerns about fertility might be important in reproductive care.
