Abstract/Summary
Although abortion is a popular focus on research, experiences of abortion providers needs more attention as it is less studied. Hence this study aims to explore the personal life experiences of women who practice abortion with regards to how they construct their occupational identity. Using a Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) as the method of inquiry for analyzing the data gathered from 5 in-depth interviews with women who practice abortion, the researchers were able to find out that women who practice abortion construct their occupational identity through resignation to current situation in life, rationalizing personal intentions, seeking life contentment, using reaction formation as a defense mechanism, desensitizing negative feelings, and compartmentalizing faith from practice. Thus with the construction of their occupational identity, these women were able to somehow give an alternative about themselves.
