Affective, cognitive and behavioral components affect nurses´ attitudes to include families in the care processes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of nurses about the importance of including families in nursing care. Data collection was performed in pediatric and maternal-child unit of a Brazilian university hospital. A sample of 50 nurses completed the Portuguese version of the instrument Families’Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses’ Attitudes (FINC-NA). The results indicated that nurses have supportive attitudes regarding families participation in nursing care. Attitudes of lower support for involving families in nursing care were found among nurses with older age, more time in the profession and who had no previous contact with contents related to Family Nursing. The application of the instrument in other contexts of assistance may help to illuminate important aspects of the challenges to implementing a family-centered approach in clinical practice.
Objectives: To assess factors associated with post-abortion contraceptive discontinuation. Method: This cross-sectional study addressed 111 women aged 18-49 attending Primary Health Care Facilities in São Paulo/SP, Aracaju/SE, and Cuiabá/MT, Brazil, who reported an abortion five years before the interview held in 2015-2017. Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox Regression were used for data analysis. Results: Oral hormonal contraceptives, male condoms, and injectable contraceptives were the methods most frequently used. The contraceptive discontinuation rate was 41.8% in the 12 months after the abortion. The pill was the method most frequently abandoned (58.3%); male condoms were the method that failed the most (72.7%), and injectable contraceptives were the method most frequently switched (50.0%). Being up to 24 years old, having ten or more years of education, having three or more children, and a desire to wait longer before becoming pregnant again were associated with post-abortion contraceptive discontinuation. Conclusion: Short-acting contraceptive methods were predominant among post-abortion women. The type of discontinuation varied according to the type of method used. The factors associated with contraceptive discontinuation were age, education, parity, and reproductive intention.
RESUMO Objetivos: Analisar os fatores associados à descontinuidade no uso de método contraceptivos após a vivência de um abortamento. Método: Estudo transversal, conduzido com 111 mulheres de 18-49 anos, usuárias de Unidades Básicas de Saúde de São Paulo/SP, Aracaju/SE e Cuiabá/MT, que relataram abortamento nos cinco anos anteriores às entrevistas realizadas entre 2015-2017. Utilizou-se Kaplan-Meier e regressão de Cox para análise dos dados. Resultados: Os métodos mais utilizados foram o contraceptivo hormonal oral, preservativo masculino e injetáveis. A taxa de descontinuidade contraceptiva foi 41,8% nos 12 meses. A pílula foi o método mais abandonado (58,3%); o preservativo masculino aquele que mais falhou (72,7%); e injetáveis os mais trocados (50,0%). Ter até 24 anos de idade, mais de 10 anos de escolaridade, três ou mais filhos e querer esperar mais para engravidar associaram-se a descontinuar o uso dos métodos contraceptivos após o abortamento. Conclusão: Após o abortamento, as mulheres usaram predominantemente métodos contraceptivos de curta duração. O tipo de descontinuidade, abandono, troca ou falha, variou conforme o método usado. Os fatores associados à descontinuidade contraceptiva foram a idade, a escolaridade, a paridade e a intenção reprodutiva.
