Abstract

Purposeof review: This review discusses the importance of abortion care and access for mental wellbeing for people seeking abortion, abortion providers, and trainees. The recent Dobbs v. Jackson case has jeopardized the physical and mental health of millions.

Recent findings: Much of the data regarding mental health impacts of abortion access comes from the Turnaway Study. This study supports that abortion does not cause negative mental health effects and being denied abortion is detrimental to mental health, physical health, and has negative socioeconomic impacts. Other recent studies support that the Dobbs decision continues to disproportionately harm historically marginalized groups. Additionally, there is more anxiety and depression reported in states with abortion restrictions. Many obstetrician gynecologists are moving away from restricted states and report moral distress due to restrictions. Many medical students are choosing not to apply to obstetrics and gynecology residency programs in states with abortion restrictions. Access to abortion care is important for mental and physical health, and socioeconomic well-being for people seeking abortion. Restrictive bans negatively affect people seeking abortion, as well as healthcare providers and trainees.

堕胎与心理健康和幸福：当代文献综述》。

综述目的：本综述讨论了人工流产护理的重要性，以及寻求人工流产者、人工流产提供者和受训者获得心理健康的途径。最近的多布斯诉杰克逊案危害了数百万人的身心健康：关于人工流产对心理健康影响的大部分数据来自《Turnaway 研究》。这项研究支持堕胎不会对心理健康造成负面影响，而被拒绝堕胎则会损害心理健康和身体健康，并对社会经济造成负面影响。最近的其他研究也支持多布斯决定继续对历史上被边缘化的群体造成不成比例的伤害。此外，在有堕胎限制的州，焦虑和抑郁的报告更多。许多妇产科医生正在远离限制堕胎的州，并报告了因限制堕胎而产生的道德困扰。许多医科学生选择不申请有堕胎限制的州的妇产科住院医师培训项目。获得堕胎护理对寻求堕胎的人的身心健康和社会经济福祉非常重要。限制性禁令对寻求堕胎的人以及医疗服务提供者和受训者产生了负面影响。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
