摘要
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted comprehensive abortion care provision. To maintain access to services while keeping individuals safe from infection, many organisations adapted their programmes. We conducted a programme evaluation to examine service adaptations implemented in Bolivia, Mali, Nepal, and the occupied Palestinian territory. Our programme evaluation used a case study approach to explore four programme adaptations through 14 group and individual interviews among 16 service providers, facility managers and representatives from supporting organisations. Data collection took place between October 2021 and January 2022. We identified adaptations to comprehensive abortion care services in relation to provision, health information systems and counselling, and referrals. Four overarching strategies emerged: (1) the use of digital technologies, (2) home and community outreach, (3) health worker optimisation, and (4) further consideration of groups in vulnerable situations. In Bolivia, the use of a messaging application increased access to confidential gender-based violence support and comprehensive abortion care. In Mali, the adoption of digital approaches created timely and complete data reporting and trained members of the community served as "interlocutors" between the communities and providers. In Nepal, an interim law expanded medical abortion provision to pharmacies, and home visits complemented facility-based services. In the occupied Palestinian territory, the use of a hotline and social media expanded access to quick and reliable information, counselling, referrals, and post-abortion care. Adaptations to comprehensive abortion care service delivery to mitigate disruptions to services during the COVID-19 pandemic may continue to benefit service quality of care, access to care, routine monitoring, as well as inclusivity and communication in the longer term. La pandemie de COVID-19 a eu des consequences sur la prestation de soins complets pour avortement. Afin de maintenir l'acces aux services tout en protegeant les individus contre l'infection, beaucoup d'organisations ont adapte leurs programmes. Nous avons mene une evaluation des programmes pour examiner les adaptations des services mises en & OELIG;uvre en Bolivie, au Mali, au Nepal et dans le territoire palestinien occupe. Notre evaluation a utilise une approche d'etude de cas pour explorer quatre adaptations de programme par le biais de 14 entretiens individuels et de groupe aupres de 16 prestataires de services, directeurs d'etablissement et representants d'organisations de soutien. Nous avons identifie les adaptations aux services de soins complets pour avortement en rapport avec la prestation des services, les systemes d'information sur la sante, le conseil et les aiguillages vers d'autres services. Quatre strategies d'ensemble sont apparues: (1) l'utilisation de technologies numeriques, (2) des services de proximite a domicile et dans la communaute, (3) l'optimisation des agents de sante et (4) une prise en compte plus approfondie des groupes vulnerables. En Bolivie, l'utilisation d'une application de messagerie instantanee a elargi l'acces a un soutien confidentiel en matiere de violence sexiste et a des soins complets pour avortement. Au Mali, l'adoption d'approches numeriques a cree une communication rapide et complete des donnees et les membres formes de la communaute ont servi d'& DLANGBRAC; interlocuteurs & drangbrac; entre les communautes et les prestataires. Au Nepal, une loi provisoire a etendu la prestation de l'avortement medicamenteux aux pharmacies et les visites a domicile ont complete les services assures dans les centres. Dans le territoire palestinien occupe, l'utilisation d'un service d'assistance telephonique et des medias sociaux a elargi l'acces a des informations rapides et dignes de foi, aux conseils, a l'aiguillage vers d'autres prestataires et aux soins apres avortement. Les adaptations de la prestation de services de soins complets pour avortement afin d'attenuer les perturbations des services pendant la pandemie de COVID-19 peuvent continuer a beneficier a la qualite des services, a l'acces aux soins, au suivi systematique, ainsi qu'a l'inclusivite et a la communication a long terme. La pandemia de COVID-19 afecto la prestacion de servicios de atencion integral al aborto. Para mantener el acceso a los servicios y evitar que las personas se infectaran con el virus, muchas organizaciones adaptaron sus programas. Realizamos una evaluacion del programa para examinar las adaptaciones de servicios aplicadas en Bolivia, Mali, Nepal y el territorio palestino ocupado. La evaluacion del programa utilizo el enfoque de estudio de casos para explorar cuatro adaptaciones del programa por medio de 14 entrevistas en grupo e individuales con 16 prestadores de servicios, administradores de establecimientos de salud y representantes de organizaciones solidarias. Identificamos adaptaciones a los servicios de atencion integral al aborto con relacion a la prestacion, sistemas de informacion sobre salud, consejeria y referencias. Surgieron cuatro estrategias generales: (1) el uso de tecnologias digitales, (2) extension domiciliaria y comunitaria, (3) optimizacion de trabajadores de salud, y (4) mayor consideracion de grupos en situaciones vulnerables. En Bolivia, el uso de una aplicacion de mensajes aumento el acceso al apoyo confidencial en situaciones de violencia de genero y a la atencion integral al aborto. En Mali, la adopcion de enfoques digitales facilito la rendicion de informes de datos oportunos y completes, e integrantes de la comunidad capacitados sirvieron como "interlocutores" entre sus comunidades y prestadores de servicios. En Nepal, una ley interina extendio la provision de aborto con medicamentos a farmacias, y visitas domiciliarias suplementaron los servicios proporcionados en establecimientos de salud. En el territorio palestino ocupado, el uso de una linea de atencion telefonica y las redes sociales ampliaron el acceso a informacion rapida y confiable, consejeria, referencias y atencion postaborto. Las adaptaciones a la prestacion de servicios de atencion integral al aborto para mitigar las interrupciones a los servicios durante la pandemia de COVID-19 podrian continuar beneficiando la calidad de la atencion, el acceso a los servicios, el monitoreo rutinario, asi como la inclusividad y comunicacion a largo plazo.
