Induced Abortion of Pregnancy with Abortion Pill

Umetna prekinitev nosečnosti (UPN) je danes še vedno pereč problem po vsem svetu. Kljub široki informiranosti in dostopnosti različnih kontraceptivov, še vedno veliko žensk navaja svojo nosečnost kot neželeno. Metod UPN je več vrst, najpogosteje uporabljena je seveda kirurška, ki pa lahko ima neželene učinke, tako kot vsi ostali kirurški posegi. Da bi se izognili ravno tovrstnim zapletom, so raziskovalci odkrili mifepriston (antiprogestagen) in misoprostol (prostaglandin), ki v kombinaciji sprožita abortus. Ker je takšna metoda UPN sicer bolj razvita v modernem svetu, pri nas pa še vedno v povojih, smo v empiričnem delu diplomskega dela povprašali medicinske sestre, zaposlene v ginekoloških ambulantah o seznanjenosti z abortivno tableto. Rdeča nit diplomskega dela je seveda sama abortivna tableta, njene lastnosti, dobre in slabe, njeno delovanje, njena razširjenost in uporaba po svetu in v Sloveniji. Poleg opisov najpogostejših UPN, je opisan tudi potek medikamentne prekinitve nosečnosti (MPN) in delo medicinske sestre pred, v in po MPN.Induced abortion of pregnancy is still a pressing worldwide problem. Despite widespread information and availability of various contraceptives there are still many women who indicate their pregnancy as unwanted. There are several types of methods for induced abortion but most used are surgical. Those can have side effects, like other surgical procedures. In order to avoid just such complications, the researchers discovered mifepristone (antiprogestagen) and misoprostol (prostaglandin) which in combination trigger abortion. This kind of method is more developed in the modern world but less developed in our country. In empirical part of the thesis we have asked the nurses employed in the gynecological ambulances about their knowledge of abortion pill. The common thread of the thesis is of course itself abortion pill, its physical characteristics, good and bad, its functioning, its distribution and use around the world and in Slovenia. In addition to descriptions of the most common induced abortions, we also describe the course of drug induced abortion and the work of nurse prior to, between and after the drug induced abortion of pregnancy
