Abstract

Objectives: To assess women's knowledge and attitudes about Implanon NXT at the National Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in 2022–2023. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 185 women who were consulted about contraceptive methods. Results: Knowledge: 55,7% (n=103) of women have poor knowledge (≤23,4 points), 33%(n=61) have average knowledge (23,4<<31,2 points) and 11,3% (n=21) have good knowledge about Implanon NXT (≥31,2 points). Attitude: 51,4% (n=95) of women have a bad attitude (<40 points) and 48,6% (n=90) of women have a good attitude (≥40 points) about the contraceptive implant.  Factors related to knowledge and attitudes about Implanon NXT are respective: employment (more employed women have correct knowledge and attitude about contraceptive implants than non-employed: (OR=10,54, CI 95%: 1,31-84,95, p=0,027, OR=13,62, CI 95%: 1,69-109,79, P=0,014), address status (urban women have correct knowledge and attitudes than suburb women: (OR=2,96, CI 95%: 1,35-6,50, p=0,05, OR=2,33, CI 95%:1,13-4,92, p=0,021), education status (more well-educated people have correct knowledge and attitudes than low-educated people: (OR=2,65, CI 95%:1,38-5,09, p=0,03, OR=2,33, CI 95%:1,13-4.92, P=0,021) and  experience with Implanon NXT (more previous experience with this contraceptive method have correct knowledge and attitudes about Implanon than not previous experience with contraceptive implants: (OR=22,15, CI 95%: 5,06-96,95, p<0,001, OR=7,81, CI 95%: 2,58-23,64, p<0,001). Conclusions: Women’s knowledge about contraceptives, especially contraceptive implants is still limited, and correct awareness about contraceptive implants is still low.
