Quality of care is an important aspect of delivering healthcare in a patient-centred manner. There is a lack of agreement about what consititutes quality care for an abortion service. In our study, we interviewed 24 participants who had an abortion in the last 6 months to assess their perceptions of quality of care. Based on our analysis, we identified 4 themes that were important contributors to quality: (1) interactions with clinic staff or other patients, (2) information and preparation for the abortion, (3) making choices about care, and (4) access to abortion care. Almost all of our study participants said that positive interactions with clinic staff contributed to a quality experience. Participants wanted to be well-prepared for their abortion. They reported a negative experience when the information they were given did not match their experience. Participants felt that active participation in choices around their abortion experience improved quality. Finally, ease of access to abortion care made for a more positive experience. Abortion providers and researchers should consider using the results of our study to ensure their services meet patients' needs.
