Abstract

The objective of the present investigation was to design an educational intervention strategy on contraceptive methods in young adult women, aged 20 to 39 years, with preconception risk. A descriptive cross - sectional study was carried out in the universe of 49 young adult women with preconceptional risk of the María Auxiliadora community, Yaruquíes Parish, Riobamba City. An interview with questionnaire validated by experts was applied. Statistical program for the Social Sciences SPSS and Fisher's test were used for the relationship between variables, considering statistically significant p <0.05. In the group studied, women aged 35 to 39 years predominated 36.7%, with 1 to 2 pregnancies 34.7%, secondary education level 44.9%, female workers 55.1%, couples 91.8% and 67,3% Catholic. Health personnel 38.8% were the main source of information. They used contraceptive 26.5%, being the implant the most frequent 38,5%. They had unsatisfactory knowledge about contraceptive methods 75.5%. By dimensions, unsatisfactory knowledge predominated with the exception of the concept of contraception. The relationship was significant between knowledge and current use of contraceptive p = 0.025, between concept of contraception dimension with: age p = 0.026, number of pregnancies p = 0.020 and level of education p = 0.014 and between dimension types of contraceptive methods and level of instruction p=0.028. It is concluded that knowledge about contraceptive methods is not satisfactory, suggesting the need to implement the educational strategy designed from the results of the study, which may play an important role in increasing knowledge and practice of contraception in this group of high reproductive risk.
