This participatory action research (PAR) was aimed to (i) develop
the post-termination of pregnancy (TOP) care model for women
after a TOP and (ii) examine the obstacles in implementing the
developed model for women after a TOP.
The research processes were divided into four steps based on
the PAR model: (i) assessing the existing care model and planning
to develop the initial model; (ii) developing and implementing the
developed model; (iii) revising the initial model to meet the needs
of women after a TOP; and (iv) evaluating the results. The sample
consisted of 12 nurses at a hospital in Southern Thailand and 60
women after a TOP. Open-ended questions were used to collect
data among these women. In-depth interviews, focus group
discussion, and participant observations, were also used. Personal
data and qualitative data were analysed by using descriptive
statistics and content analysis, respectively. It revealed that the
post-TOP care model for women after a TOP was a holistic care
model comprising building an impressive relationship, having
positive attitudes, giving advice and counselling and providing
continuous care to meet the needs of women after a TOP. The
identified obstacles of the model implementation were the nurses’
overwork, stress, and weariness.
In conclusion, in this participatory action research led nurses to
recognise the importance of holistic care, have better attitudes
towards women after a TOP and improve their service of giving
advice and counselling by using the instructional media.
