英民衆希望對流產婦女人性化醫療

Almost half (49 per cent) of women suffering a miscarriage are treated alongside pregnant women or new mothers in hospital, causing them unnecessary distress, a survey has revealed. One in five of those referred for a scan had to wait three days or more, while a third of those needing a surgical procedure after miscarriage had to wait four or more days for it.
　　一項調查顯示，近一半(49%)的流產女性和孕婦及新媽媽在同一病房接受治療，這引起了這些流產婦女本不必要的悲痛。五分之一的流產女性提到，他們必須爲做B超等3天或者更多；三分之一流產後需要手術的患者必須等4天或者更多。

A separate survey found 12 per cent of women admitted to hospital for miscarriage had to recover on the labour ward, and almost half did not feel they were treated sensitively. The survey of 500 women by parenting website also found 14 per cent of women had been told they would have to experience up to ten miscarriages before being investigated.

一項獨立調查發現，12%的女性在因流產住院之前必須在分娩病房進行恢復，幾乎一半的人並沒有覺得自己被細心照料。育兒網站對500名女性的調查也發現，14%的女性被告知，她們只有經歷10次流產以上纔會對她們進行研究。

Mumsnet carried out this survey, has drawn up a five-point code to improve healthcare services for the one in four pregnancies which end in miscarriage, affecting around a quarter of a million women each year in the UK. They include actress Amanda Holden, who lost a baby last year at seven months, and singer Lily Allen, who is six months pregnant after two miscarriages.

媽媽網進行了一項調查，爲四分之一的流產女性擬定了一個五等級代碼來改進醫療保健服務，每年將影響25萬英國婦女。這些女性包括演員Amanda Holden，去年她在寶寶7個月的時候流產；也包括歌手Lily Allen，她曾經有過兩次流產，現在懷有6個月的身孕。

Mumsnet co-founder Justine Roberts said: ‘There is no getting away from the hurt of miscarriage, but there are a number of simple changes that could make a considerable difference to the level of trauma miscarrying parents undergo.’

媽媽網的前創始人Justine Roberts說：“完全避免流產的傷害或許不太可能，但是對那些由流產導致心靈創傷的父母來說，有非常多種簡單的方法可以大大改變傷害程度。”

Nifa McLaughlin, the editor of , said: ‘We believe it should be mandatory across the UK for all women who experience three miscarriages to be immediately referred for testing into possible causes.’

的編輯Nifa McLaughlin說：“我們認爲，英國需要強制所有經歷過3次流產的女性立即進行檢查，找出可能的流產原因。”

Professor Tom Bourne, consultant gynaecologist at Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea hospitals in London, said: “Women should be offered different treatment options, and for non-surgical approaches they also must be given realistic information about what is involved, and have adequate analgesia and access to care should they run into problems.”

倫敦Charlotte’s and Chelsea醫院婦科醫師顧問Tom Bourne教授說：“應該爲女性提供不同的治療方案，需要非外科治療者必須得到現實信息，包括醫生對她們治療的投入，有足夠的陣痛，在遇到問題時享受醫療服務。”

Health Minister Anne Milton said: ‘Miscarriage is devastating for women and their partners so it is essential that they get the best care. We welcome the Mumsnet campaign in raising awareness of this issue.’

衛生部長Anne Milton說：“對女性及其伴侶來說，流產是災難性的，所以讓她們得到最好的照料非常必要。我們歡迎‘媽媽網’運動喚起對這個問題的重視。”
