Uso de métodos anticoncepcionais e adequação de contraceptivos hormonais orais na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil: 1992 e 1999 Contraceptive methods and adequacy of oral contraceptive use in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil: 1992-1999

Abstract

Realizou-se um estudo transversal de base populacional, com o objetivo de verificar a utilização de métodos contraceptivos e adequação do emprego de anticoncepcionais orais pelas mulheres de 20 a 49 anos, residentes na zona urbana da cidade de Pelotas. Os resultados foram comparados com outro estudo transversal de base populacional, realizado em 1992. Utilizou-se amostragem por conglomerados, incluindo-se 766 mulheres com idade entre 20 e 49 anos. Do total de mulheres, 495 (64,6%) utilizavam algum método contraceptivo, sendo mais freqüentemente empregados: anticoncepcionais orais (55,4%), ligadura tubária (22,2%), preservativo (10,5%) e dispositivo intra-uterino (7,7%). Entre as usuárias de anticoncepcionais orais, verificou-se que 22,2% apresentavam contra-indicação para seu emprego. O uso incorreto associou-se significativamente à idade, mas foi semelhante entre as classes sociais. Comparando os resultados com aqueles do estudo anterior, destaca-se a redução no emprego de anticoncepcionais orais, e maior freqüência de ligaduras, uso de preservativos e dispositivos intra-uterinos.A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess contraceptive methods and the adequacy of oral contraceptive use by women aged 20 to 49 years in the city of Pelotas. The results were compared with another cross-sectional study performed in 1992. A sample was randomly selected, including 766 women aged 20 to 49 years. Some 495 of the sample (64.6%) used a contraceptive method, in the following order: oral contraceptives (55.4%), surgical sterilization (22.2%), condoms (10,5%), and IUD (7.7%). Among users of oral contraceptives, 62 (22.2%) had some contraindication. Incorrect use of contraceptive methods was associated with age but not with socioeconomic status. As compared to the previous study, there was a reduction in the use of oral contraceptives. Meanwhile, other methods such as surgical sterilization, condoms, and IUD were used more frequently than in 1992.
