Abstract

In 2018, there were 14928 voluntary termination of pregnancy’s (VTP)in Portugal, 95.8% at the option of women. The main reported cause was the incorrect use and discontinuity of the contraceptive. The scientific evidence suggest that the ideal time to adhere to a contraceptive is during the experiencing of the VTP. Goals: To know the impact of contraceptive counselling in the choice of contraceptive by women living VTP. Method: Literature review was carried out from 1 to 31 January 2020, following the guidelines of the Joanna Briggs Institute and the question "What contraceptive counselling is performed for women in the live VTP period and what is the impact on the choice of method?". EBSCO platform and CINAHL, MedicLatina and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were used, studies in Portuguese, English or Spanish in women 16 years old were included. Results: 11 studies were chosen, between 2014 and 2020. All in English and none developed in Portugal. Conclusion: Counselling favours the choice and adherence to contraceptive methods, being influenced by the qualification of professionals, accessibility and free availability of contraceptives. The qualitative analysis of the studies, allowed a better understanding of the psychosocial aspects of women in the process of VTP.
