Abstract
Canadian data suggest that the increasing use of prenatal technologies has led to an increase in the selective termination of affected pregnancies. Accurate prenatal diagnosis is available in the first and early second trimester leading to operative techniques such as dilation and curettage or dilation and evacuation. However, there are many women who, due to the advanced gestational age of the fetus, require that labor induction techniques be used to terminate the pregnancy with one‐to‐one continuous nursing care being provided throughout the procedure. Nurses who care for these women face expanded responsibilities and complex challenges. A computer based search of the literature indicated that there is, as yet, no published nursing research exploring or describing these nurses’ experiences from a qualitative, phenomenological research approach.
