“…However, we learnt little about the education and training that midwives and especially nurses receive to provide abortion‐related care. While some momentum has been made to determine the essential abortion care competencies by Hewitt and Cappiello (2015), further work is needed to establish the extent of abortion content taught across the international undergraduate nursing and midwifery curricula.…”

Aims and objectives: To define the role and scope of the nurse and midwife within the global context of abortion. Background: An estimated 56 million women seek abortions each year; nurses and midwives are commonly involved in their care (Singh et al., 2018, https://www.guttm acher. org/sites/ defau lt/files/ report_pdf/abort ion-world wide-2017.pdf). As new models of abortion care emerge, there is a pressing need to develop a baseline understanding of the role and scope of nurses and midwives who care for women seeking abortions. Design: The review design was Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage methodological framework. The review follows the PRISMA-ScR checklist. Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus and ScienceDirect were used to identify original research, commentaries and reports, published between 2008-2019, from which we selected 74 publications reporting on the nursing or midwifery role in abortion care. Results: Nurses and midwives provide abortion care in a variety of practice. Three themes emerged from the literature: the regulated role; providing psychosocial care; and the expanding scope of practice. Conclusions: The literature on nursing and midwifery practice in abortion care is broad. Abortion-related practices are potentially over-regulated. Appropriately trained nurses and midwives can provide abortions as safely as physicians. The preparation of nurses and midwives to provide abortion care requires further research. Also, healthcare organisations should explore person-centred models of abortion care.Relevance to clinical practice: Abortion care is a common procedure performed across many healthcare settings. Nurses and midwives provide technical and psychosocial care to women who seek abortions. Governments and regulatory bodies could safely extend their scope of practice to increase women's access to safe abortions.Introduction of education programmes, as well as embedding practice in person-centred models of care, may improve outcomes for women seeking abortions.

“…In 2015, essential educational competencies were developed for nurses at all levels related to the prevention of unintended pregnancy (Hewitt & Cappiello, 2015). More recently, SRH competencies were developed for use across all of the health professions (Cappiello, Levi, & Nothnagle, 2016), which provides an opportunity for greater inclusion of SRH content in competency-based nursing education.…”

Thoughtful, unbiased, evidence-based content in nursing education is crucial for the development of confident and competent nurses who provide care in every setting. The purpose of this article is twofold: to provide evidence to show that comprehensive sexual and reproductive health care by nurses is informed by educational exposure to content and to provide recommendations for change at the individual, institutional, and structural levels to improve and expand sexual and reproductive health services. , 46, e149-e156; 2017. http://dx JOGNN

“…Currently, a “gold standard” to assess and meet the sexual health needs of clients in mental health treatment does not exist. Given that such standards drive clinical education and practice (Hewitt & Cappiello, 2015), it is crucial to move forward in this direction. Standardized questions, with individualized probes, can then be used to conduct comprehensive sexual health histories.…”

Despite advances in HIV epidemiologic and prevention research, adolescents with mental illnesses remain a historically underserved group with respect to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevention resources. Black adolescents with mental illnesses in particular are a relatively underserved, hidden population in the field of sexual health. Strategies and guidelines are needed to account for underlying psychopathology among Black adolescents with mental illnesses in ways that current models have yet to address. In this paper, we propose several actionable mechanisms to better integrate HIV/STI and mental health related services and activities for sexual health promotion.
