Abstract:
We have interviewed 23 women from December 2000 to April 2001 at a Public Health Unit on a Family Health Program, aiming to analyze their beliefs regarding the use or not of contraceptive methods, and to identify their central or peripheral axis. 123 beliefs were emitted and categorized in five types, each one of them classified in 11 structural units, representing rationales for supporting the beliefs. There was a tendency to centralize the beliefs, with a worrisome 47.15% of the women pertaining to type B: unwilling to accept changes. There is a need to discuss beliefs and partners as part of educational programs.
