Assessment of Satisfaction With Induced Abortion Procedure

Abstract

This study was designed to assess women's satisfaction with the abortion procedure at a family planning clinic in Quebec City. Overall satisfaction was quite high, especially for women who brought someone with them for social support. Preparation was a key element of satisfaction for all women. However, other factors underlying satisfaction were different for women who were accompanied and those who came alone. The results of this study may give clinic personnel incentives and ideas to improve the quality of care and to answer specific needs of their clientele.
