Abstract
A comprehensive system of integrated and accessible services is called for to support women experiencing a troubled and unintended pregnancy. The purpose of the study was to develop a counseling curriculum to train service providers who can offer unbiased information and counseling services to women in pregnancy crisis. Following an extensive review of the literature on the tasks, competencies, and various training requirements concerning such services, the authors developed the first draft of the curriculum. This was modified two rounds of Delphi survey. The final version was a 100-hour program with 36 subjects that address 7 competencies in three areas (basic, advanced, and practice). The authors suggest establishing an integrated system of care for women in pregnancy crises, continuing education for quality control of both personnel and services, and a supervision system.
