0492/2018 - Contraceptive counseling lectures do not influence decision making in family planning services. Palestras de aconselhamento contraceptivo não influenciam a tomada de decisões em serviços de planejamento familiar.
Serviços de planejamento familiar devem oferecer informações sobre métodos contraceptivos a homens e mulheres. Este estudo avaliou o impacto de palestras multiprofissionais de aconselhamento relacionadas às escolhas individuais e à eficácia dos métodos contraceptivos. Foram analisadas variáveis sociodemográficas, métodos preferenciais e a opinião sobre a eficácia dos métodos contraceptivos de 101 participantes. Após a palestra, um percentual menor de homens declarou não saber qual o método contraceptivo mais eficaz (24,3% versus 0,0%; p=0,006). Além disso, um percentual menor de mulheres (12,7% versus 1,8%; p=0,020) e homens (25,5% versus 7,7%; p=0,003) relataram que não sabiam qual método contraceptivo era menos eficaz. O número de filhos dos participantes aumentou as chances de optar por um método irreversível em 30,87 vezes (IC 95%; 5,503 a 173,168, p0,05). A palestra impactou nas opiniões dos participantes sobre a eficácia dos métodos contraceptivos, fazendo com que eles tivessem escolhas mais informadas. No entanto, não influenciou a escolha do método de contracepção. O número de filhos foi mais determinante na escolha de métodos irreversíveis. .

Abstract:
Family planning services should provide women and men with information on contraceptive methods. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of multidisciplinary contraceptive counseling lectures related to the efficacy and individual choices of contraceptive methods. Sociodemographic variables, preferred methods and opinion about the efficacy of contraceptive methods of 101 participants were analyzed. After the lecture, a lower percentage of men declared that they did not know which contraceptive method was more efficacious (24.3% versus 0.0%; p=0.006). Also, a lower percentage of women (12.7% versus 1.8%; p=0.020) and men (25.5% versus 7.7%; p=0.003) reported that they did not know which contraceptive method was less efficacious. Number of children increased the likelihood of choosing an irreversible method in a 30.87-fold (95% CI, 5.503 to 173.168, p0.05). The lecture impacted on participants\' opinions about the efficacy of contraceptive methods, making them have more informed choices. However, it did not influence their choice of contraception. Number of children was the most determining factor in choosing irreversible methods.
