Why does abortion stigma matter? A scoping review and hybrid analysis of qualitative evidence illustrating the role of stigma in the quality of abortion care
2022, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :However, the studies included represent a variety of geographical contexts, and the use of qualitative data ensures that the participant's experience is centred in the analysis. Some argue that abortion stigma has become far too all encompassing, obscuring the specificities of the theory, and limiting its use as a tool for health and social justice (Kumar, 2013). Furthermore, using abortion stigma as the organizing principle for research, as we have here, has been criticised in the literature (Millar, 2020).
Exploring providers’ experience of stigma following the introduction of more liberal abortion care in the Republic of Ireland
2021, ContraceptionCitation Excerpt :Quantitative research in this area should also be conducted throughout Europe to document and compare providers’ experience of stigma and to explore if designated supports for providers may be beneficial. Finally, stigma is only one facet of the challenges related to providing abortion care [28]. Further research in Ireland will add to our understanding of these challenges and will inform the design of possible supports.
