Práticas e saberes de mulheres que optaram por realizar a laqueadura tubária como método contraceptivo

Abstract

Tubal ligation is a definitive surgical contraceptive method and one of the most used in Brazil. Because it is an irreversible method, the realization of demand implies the provision of information, counseling and availability of other reversible contraceptive methods. Therefore, this study aims to know the practices and knowledge of women who chose to perform tubular tubing as a contraceptive method. This is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach approved by the Municipal Health Secretariat of Maceió - Alagoas and the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Alagoas, based on CAAE 06519419.1.0000.5013 and respected the ethical principles proposed in Resolutions no. 466/12 and no. 510/16 of the National Health Council. Data were collected through interviews with a semi-structured questionnaire from June to July 2019, with 12 women who underwent tubal sterilization and met in a Cheers. For data analysis, Bardin's perspective content analysis technique was used and applied as a theoretical framework or assumption of Nola Pender's Health Promotion Model Theory. The thematic categories identified were the practices and flavors about contraceptive methods and the feelings about performing the tubing. Most of the interviewees stated that they did not receive guidance on contraceptive methods and tubular tubing, or that they led to sexual practices that did not guarantee health promotion. The main factors involved in performing sterilization were the influences of the partner, financial situation and number of children. Most interviews related to not getting involved in the procedure, citing all the threats and charges imposed on them in applications and child rearing. Who is the nursing professional who is an empowering agent of health promotion, who is oriented to the professionals who should influence the decision of an ideal contraceptive method, but which configures as a failure in women's health care, because these guidelines are lacking is qualified for the lack of exercise of female autonomy and codification in choosing the method that guarantees safety in their health and fulfillment of their sexual and reproductive rights.
