ObjectivesSince the US Supreme Court’s Dobbs v. Jackson decision, 17 states have imposed near-total abortion bans. These bans may negatively impact health and well-being of obstetrician-gynaecologists (OB-GYNs), due to high levels of work-related stress that the laws have created for them. The goal of the present study is to evaluate the impacts of post-Dobbs v. Jackson state abortion bans on occupational health and well-being of OB-GYNs.MethodsThe Study of OB-GYNs in Post-Roe America is a qualitative study of 54 OB-GYNs practising in 13 of the 14 states with near-total abortion bans as of March 2023. Using volunteer sampling methods, participants were recruited for semistructured qualitative interviews via videoconference from March to August 2023.ResultsThematic analysis of interview transcripts identified six major domains of health and well-being impacts of state abortion bans on OB-GYNs: anxiety and depression, burden of negative emotions, burn-out, coping-related health behaviours, sleep disruption and personal relationships.ConclusionsState abortion bans following the 2022 Dobbs decision may impact the health and well-being not only of pregnant patients but also of their providers. These provider health impacts include mental health and burn-out but also extend to physical health outcomes and the work–life interface.
