Resumo: | This paper analyzes the attitudes of low-income women towards abortion and contraception. A survey was conducted in 1992 with a total of 3,149 childbearing-age women living on the outskirts of the Greater Metropolitan São Paulo Area. The study focuses on a sub-sample of 583 women. Attitudes of sterilized and non-sterilized women are compared. Women, especially those sterilized, found the most important attribute of a contraceptive method to be its effectiveness. Women currently taking the pill were less likely than those sterilized to agree that sterilization was the best method because of its effectiveness. Sterilized women were less likely than non-sterilized women to trust the pill. Sterilized women were more likely than non-sterilized to have reported adverse effects from the pill. Most women found abortion unacceptable except in the case of risk to the woman's life. Women using more effective methods showed stronger negative attitudes towards abortion. The tendency to be sterilized while still young was associated with more negative attitudes towards abortion. Family planning activities in basic health care services should include individual counseling for contraceptive use. |

Uma subamostra de 583 mulheres participantes uma pesquisa realizada em 1992 é examinada, mostrando que o mais importante atributo de um método contraceptivo é a sua efetividade, especialmente para as esterilizadas. As mulheres que tomavam pílula tinham menor chance de concordar que o melhor método era a esterilização, por causa de sua efetividade. Mulheres esterilizadas, comparadas às usuárias da pílula, tinham menos chance de confiar na pílula e relataram efeitos adversos causados pelo uso do anticoncepcional. Muitas acham o aborto inaceitável, exceto nos casos em que há risco de vida para a mulher. Mulheres que usam métodos mais efetivos mostraram ter atitudes mais fortes contra o aborto. A tendência para submeter-se à esterilização mais jovem foi encontrada associada com atitudes mais negativas em relação ao aborto. As atividades de planejamento familiar no sistema de atenção primária à saúde deveriam incluir o aconselhamento individual para o uso de contraceptivos.Reports in Public HealthCadernos de Saúde Pública1999-10-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersiontext/htmlapplication/pdfhttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1202Reports in Public Health; Vol. 15 No. 4 (1999): October/DecemberCadernos de Saúde Pública; v. 15 n. 4 (1999): Outubro/Dezembro1678-44640102-311Xreponame:Cadernos de Saúde Públicainstname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZenghttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1202/2392https://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/article/view/1202/2393Vieira, Elisabeth Meloniinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2024-03-06T15:26:19Zoai:ojs.teste-cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br:article/1202Revistahttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csphttps://cadernos.ensp.fiocruz.br/ojs/index.php/csp/oaicadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br||cadernos@ensp.fiocruz.br1678-44640102-311Xopendoar:2024-03-06T13:01:27.291122Cadernos de Saúde Pública - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)true |
