Systematic review explores reasons behind decisions on unwanted pregnancy, indicating factors influencing continuation or termination.
We will use the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, and LILACS, from 2019, combining controlled descriptors in natural and indexed language. We will consider qualitative and quantitative data. For qualitative analysis, we will use thematic categories, and for quantitative analysis, we will analyze two perspectives: the decision, separating those who want to continue the pregnancy and those who want to terminate the pregnancy, and the access, analyzing what happened to those who did not have the abortion and what happened to those who terminated the pregnancy. Finally, we will combine the results through a convergent synthesis and identify the determinants of the decision to continue with an unwanted pregnancy.
