Summary: | Introduction: In 2006, the Colombian government legalized
abortion for three specific situations by means of sentence
C-355, setting an important milestone in a society soaked by
strong patriarchal values. Nevertheless, studies regarding
these experiences of the main actors, as well as Healthcare
professionals and women involved in this social phenomenon
have been scarce. Objective: To ask senior students of the
nursing program at Universidad Surcolombiana their opinion
regarding sentence C-355 of 2006, which legalized abortion
for three specific situations in Colombia. Methodology: A
qualitative exploratory study was conducted. 26 students
participated and they were selected using convenience sampling
until saturation of the information. To collect the data, three
discussion groups were created, and three in-depth interviews
were conducted. Both were observed using content analysis.
Results: Opinions regarding the sentence are favorable, because
of its social benefits and it is in Pro of Defending women's
rights. The topic arising in the constructed discourses was the
impediment to accept abortion in Colombia, as a result of those
strong patriarchal values that have soaked society, which are
reinforced by the church’s "discourses of the truth” as well as
those of medical institutions. Conclusions: it is necessary to
persist on the socialization of the sentence in institutions and
among healthcare professionals, and to persist on legal abortion
and women's rights as a topic for public and political discussion.
To do so, academia and investigators must work together with
social organizations defending women's rights. |
