Why women choose at-home abortion via teleconsultation in France: drivers of telemedicine abortion during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract: ObjectivesIn an attempt to understand the demand and main drivers of telemedicine abortion, we analysed the requests that Women on Web (WoW), an online telemedicine abortion service operating worldwide, received from France throughout 2020.MethodsWe conducted a parallel, convergent, mixed-methods study among 809 consultations received from France at WoW between 1 January and 31 December 2020. We performed a cross-sectional study of data obtained from the WoW consultation survey and a manifest content analysis … Show more

“…Choice of abortion methods and settings was influenced by service factors (number of appointments, timing and wait for appointments), personal responsibilities (caring/work commitments), geography (travel time/distance), relationships and need for privacy/secrecy and the extent to which people wished to be aware of/involved in/in control of the process 12, 29-35 (Table 1). Those choosing medical abortion at home made this decision on the basis of their social responsibilities (such as the need to provide childcare) or when a home abortion enabled them to maintain their confidentiality, rather than their personal preferences about the procedure itself 12,21,29,35,36,37 . Conversely, some people chose hospital care because it limits knowledge of the procedure among household members (for example, an abusive or unsupportive partner) and requires less responsibility for the process 32,34 .…”

“…Toutefois, la réduction de recours à l'IVG en milieu hospitalier peut être due à la saturation des hôpitaux en période de crise sanitaire mais peut aussi traduire la crainte de contamination hospitalière qu'avaient les patientes au plus fort de la crise sanitaire [ 3 , 5 ]. Par ailleurs, les mesures législatives temporaires mises en place en France pendant la crise sanitaire notamment l'autorisation de la prise en charge des IVG jusqu’à neuf SA en médecine de ville [ 9 , 22 ] ou le recours à la télémédecine, peuvent également avoir contribué à réduire le recours hospitalier pour les actes d'orthogénie [13] .…”

“…ont d'ailleurs rapporté dans leur étude sur le recours à la téléconsultation pour IVG que plusieurs autres contraintes sont intervenues dans le choix de la méthode d'IVG pour les femmes pendant le confinement en France (contrainte de l'offre, conditions sociopolitiques, cadre juridique, etc.) [13] . En effet, comme déjà évoqué plusieurs année auparavant par Pheterson Gail, lors d'un besoin d'avortement, les femmes sont parfois confrontées aux choix d'entamer immédiatement un protocole médicamenteux ou d'attendre la programmation d'une aspiration [26] .…”
