Abstract

Objective

One key component in preventing unplanned pregnancies is to provide effective contraceptive counselling. This study aimed to investigate what characterises good contraceptive counselling from the woman's perspective.

Methods

A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach. Twenty-four women aged 15–45 participated in semi-structured, individual, face-to-face interviews that lasted, on average, one hour. Data were analysed by latent content analysis.

Results

One overall theme emerged, person-centred contraceptive counselling – an interactive process, with three main categories: (i) a trustworthy healthcare provider, (ii) creating a liaison and (iii) the right time and place.

Conclusions

The healthcare provider’s attributes as well as what happened between the healthcare provider and the woman, and the surrounding context, had a bearing on the women’s descriptions of good contraceptive counselling. The process of the counselling was described as more important than the actual outcome; thus, healthcare providers need to be aware that this seemingly straightforward consultation is rather multi-layered and has great health promoting potential.

良好避孕咨询的特点--访谈研究

目标预防意外怀孕的一个关键要素是提供有效的避孕咨询。本研究旨在从女性的角度探讨良好避孕咨询的特点。24 名 15-45 岁的女性参加了半结构化、面对面的个人访谈，访谈平均持续一小时。通过潜在内容分析法对数据进行了分析。结果出现了一个总的主题，即以人为本的避孕咨询--一个互动的过程，包括三个主要类别：(i) 值得信赖的医疗保健提供者，(ii) 建立联系，(iii) 合适的时间和地点。结论医疗保健提供者的特质、医疗保健提供者与妇女之间发生的事情以及周围环境对妇女描述的良好避孕咨询有影响。咨询过程比实际结果更重要；因此，医疗服务提供者需要意识到，这种看似简单的咨询其实是多层次的，具有促进健康的巨大潜力。
