Focus on 3 aspects of psychological care for patients with artificial abortion

Abortion surgery also causes great psychological damage to women. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the abortion surgery and the patient's physical recovery as soon as possible after the operation, we should focus on the patient's psychology before, during and after the operation.

Preoperative psychological care

Artificial abortion is a remedy for contraceptive failure. Patients who have abortion for the first time are prone to anxiety. They worry whether the operation will be successful, whether others will discriminate against them, and whether ending a life in this way is a crime. In order to dispel patients' worries and anxieties, medical staff and family members should communicate with patients more often. Doctors should leave a good impression on patients with their steady and dignified appearance, enthusiastic attitude, light movements, and friendly smiles.

Psychological care during surgery

Medical staff should provide more guidance, help and care, especially for first-time patients, who are more afraid of pain during surgery and danger, and are highly nervous. They should comfort and accompany the patients, communicate more with them to stabilize their emotions and relax their minds, and use conversation to distract their attention from the pain. Medical staff should be gentle during the operation to ensure that the operation goes smoothly.

Postoperative psychological care

After the operation, the patient should be advised to have a good rest, told the importance of postoperative hygiene, take medicine as ordered by the doctor, introduced various contraceptive measures, and given condoms to those in need, so that they can understand relevant self-care knowledge and regain health as soon as possible.
