O planejamento familiar sob a ótica de mulheres usuárias do sistema público de saúde: uma revisão integrativa

Abstract

Introduction: Family Planning is a set of actions, whose main objective is to ensure whether or not you have children. An early and unplanned pregnancy can lead to serious consequences, such as psychic, emotional, social overload and changes in the future life project. The lack of information and access to contraceptive methods is one of the causes of the high number of unplanned pregnancies, due to the failure in the effectiveness of programs for maternal health care. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the presence or absence of information, knowledge and guidance on family planning in the lives of women and the influence on their reproductive life. Methodology: The present study was a bibliographic review, of the type of integrative literature review, carried out in the VHL databases and CAPES Journal, using the descriptors "gestation", "family planning", "family planning" and "contraceptive methods" combined with each other, between the years 2019 and 2025. A total of 6 articles were included, with screening through title/summary analysis and exclusion of duplicates. Outcomes: Pregnant women do not have a good level of knowledge, information and guidance on family planning. Unplanned pregnancies are more susceptible in younger women, of black or brown race, low education, multiparous, without a partner and with more unfavorable socioeconomic conditions. The study shows the need for strategies to expand women's sexual and reproductive education.
