Abstract Details

2013, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Ohio University, Counselor Education (Education).
This qualitative study examined the experiences of individuals who work in abortion clinics as pre-abortion counselors. Interviewing was the primary method of inquiry. Although information regarding post-abortion distress is documented in the literature, pre-abortion counseling is rarely found in the literature. This study sought to fill a void in the literature by seeking to understand the experience of pre-abortion counselors. The documented experiences shared several themes such as a love for their job, having a non-judgmental attitude, and having a previous interest in reproductive health care.
