“…This study is also in line with findings from others that have showed that the most common reasons for using HCPs right to the CC is abortion and assisted reproductive techniques [ 26 , 42 , 67 ]. In contrast to previous Polish research, however, our respondents also indicated contraception as the second most common reason HCPs should be entitled to invoke the CC.…”

“…In Italy 70% of HCPs, including practicing physicians, nurses and midwives, as well as medical students also support the right to the CC [ 22 , 67 ]. Over 45% of medical students in the United Kingdom [ 68 ], 79.2% in Spain [ 69 ] and 89% of Slovak pharmacists and pharmacy students also support this right [ 26 ]. Finally, a previous study conducted among Polish pharmacists demonstrated that 65% of pharmacy students and 50% of practising pharmacists support the introduction of the CC for pharmacists to Polish medical law [ 25 ].…”

“…On the other hand, the CC is a legal norm or clause attached to laws in various countries, including Poland, that exempts some individuals, including HCPs, physicians, nurses, or pharmacists, from providing certain services for moral or religious reasons [ 10 , 22 – 26 ]. Nevertheless, the provision on the CC appears in the legislative provisions of many countries in order to prevent all forms of arbitrariness.…”

Background While healthcare professionals’ right to invoke the conscience clause has been recognised as a fundamental human right, it continues to provoke a heated debate in Polish society. Although public discourse is filled with ethical and legal considerations on the conscience clause, much less is known about the attitudes of healthcare professionals regarding that matter. The aim of this study was therefore to describe the attitudes of Polish physicians, nurses and pharmacists towards the ethical and legal aspects of the conscience clause. Methods We analysed a group of three hundred healthcare professionals: physicians, nurses and pharmacists in Poznan, Poland, using a standard questionnaire comprising of 29 questions about various ethical and legal aspects of the conscience clause and participants’ personal experiences with the conscience clause. The study was conducted between January and March 2020. Results This research shows that although most Polish healthcare workers support the right to invoke the conscience clause they differ significantly in their opinions on to whom and to what medical procedures the conscience clause should apply to. It also demonstrated that while the conscience clause is rarely invoked in Poland, most healthcare professionals declare that the current legal regulations in that sphere are unclear and inaccurate. Conclusions While there is an urgent need to raise the awareness regarding the conscience clause among medical students and healthcare professionals and educate them about such issues, it is even more important to improve the legal system in regard to the CC so that it protects both HCPs’ right to the CC and safeguards patients’ rights to medical services.

“…El conocimiento y sobre todo la actitud de los profesionales de la salud representan aspectos centrales en la aplicación de las leyes sobre la IVE, las experiencias de distintos países han mostrado que la prestación institucional de servicios de IVE es un asunto políticamente delicado que polariza las opiniones y genera importantes controversias (8,9) . Un estudio realizado por Quintero y Ochoa con estudiantes de Medicina reportó que había un reconocimiento de las causales despenalizadas del aborto por la ley colombiana, pero la mayoría de los participantes no sabía acerca de la objeción de conciencia, los casos en los que aplica y cómo interponerla (10) .…”

“…Los profesionales de la salud, a menudo mantienen posturas rígidas ante el problema de la IVE, las cuales están en buena medida influenciadas por la formación que reciben, un estudio realizado por Moure y Cernadas (9) en estudiantes de medicina, reportó que los estudiantes aceptaban y reconocían causales de abortos cuando los embarazos cursaban con malformaciones incompatibles con la vida, representan un peligro para la vida de la madre, o son productos de violación, pero rechazaban cualquier otra indicación de la IVE. Así mismo, Martínez y Puerto, encontraron en un grupo de ginecólogos una Universidad de Cartagena.…”

Introducción: La interrupción voluntaria del embarazo es un asunto político que polariza las opiniones y genera controversias entre el sector salud, social, económico y cultural. Objetivo: Determinar el nivel de conocimiento y actitudes sobre la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo en estudiantes de dos programas de Ciencias de la Salud de Cartagena. Materiales y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal, se aplicó el cuestionario adaptado por Marceliano y Medrano a 231 estudiantes de Enfermería y Medicina, los datos se analizaron obteniendo frecuencias relativas y absolutas. Resultados: El nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes fue alto con 92,20% (213). Sin embargo, el 37,2% (86) no sabía cuáles eran las tres causales para que el aborto no se considere un delito. El 56,7% asume actitudes negativas hacia firmar una petición para legalizar el aborto y el 18,8% considera que si una mujer se realiza un aborto debe ir a la cárcel. Conclusión: El nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes de medicina y enfermería es alto, sin embargo, los patrones muestran desconocimiento sobre las causales de legalización del aborto de acuerdo con la norma vigente y una variabilidad de actitudes positivas y negativas ante la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo.

Background: Multiple studies have been recorded regarding the perception of abortion among students in the health area.Objective: To know if medical-scientific training is sufficient to generate a change in the perception of first-year students of the National Autonomous University of Mexico Faculty of Medicine. Material and methods: A cross-sectional survey was applied in two times, with the level of relationship between the items of each dimension being analyzed using Cramer's V test. The results were compared to analyze if there was a change in the perception of abortion after the human embryology course. Results: With an initial population of 2,150 students, 393 pre-course and 394 post-course surveys were conducted. The results indicated that despite the existence of changes in the perception of Faculty of Medicine students with regard to abortion, they are not significant. Conclusions: The medical-scientific training provided by the human embryology course is not enough to provide foundations to the perception of students on issues such as abortion or conscientious objection.
