to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational intervention on the knowledge, attitude and practice of adolescent puerperal women regarding the mini-pill as a method of contraception in the postpartum period.

a quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-tests carried out with 139 puerperal adolescents in four public maternity hospitals, using an instrument with sociodemographic/gyneco-obstetric questions and a targeted survey called Knowledge, Attitude and Practice. The following were used in the analysis: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software, version 20.1 for Windows; 5% significance level; 95% confidence interval; Shapiro-Wilk test to test data normality and paired t-test.

the average scores for the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice instrument were inadequate before the educational intervention; after the intervention, they remained inadequate, but with a slight improvement; the attitude was markedly inadequate. This instrument, before the intervention, was associated with age, education, number of pregnancies and having had prenatal care; after the intervention, in addition to these, it was associated with other variables, such as place of residence, being in school and having used contraception. The three domains were associated before and after the intervention.

the educational intervention, mediated by the nurse, was effective in promoting the knowledge, attitude and practice of puerperal adolescents in the proper use of the mini-pill as postpartum contraception.

Birth Control Methods

Vasectomy is a surgical form of male sterilization that involves severing and sealing the vasa deferentia, preventing sperm from mixing with semen during ejaculation. Because a vasectomy does not impact the testes' ability to produce testosterone, hormone levels, libido, and sexual function generally remain unchanged. While vasectomy is highly effective in preventing pregnancy, with a success rate near 99.85%, rare cases of recanalization (spontaneous reconnection) can occur. Although...
