Using the theory of "street-level bureaucrats" , this thesis examines the implementation of the South African Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act by exploring nurses' decision-making in termination of pregnancy services. As front-line providers, nurses play a critical role in the implementation of termination of pregnancy services. Nurses may be required to assist in informing, preparing or counselling women who request a termination of pregnancy and, if appropriately trained, nurses can perform terminations of pregnancy. Research suggests, however, that 15 years after the promulgation of the law, nurses continue to be reluctant to participate in termination of pregnancy services thereby undermining the successful implementation of the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act. 2014-11-08T18:08:41Z 2014-11-08T18:08:41Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MPH http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9427 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
