Abstract

Objective: To identify the perceptions of Family Health teams on contraceptive care.
Method: A qualitative research, of the exploratory-descriptive type. Data collection was
conducted by means of semi-structured interviews, totaling 55 participants active in the
Family Health Strategy in a capital of southern Brazil. For the organization and coding of
the data, the resources of the webQDA software were used and, for data analysis, the four
generic processes were followed: apprehension, synthesis, theorization, and transfer.
Results: Four categories emerged, namely: perceptions on contraceptive care; contraceptive
care actions; characteristics of the people who demand contraceptive care; and sensations
experienced by the teams when working in contraceptive care.
Conclusion: The arguments and counterarguments raised by the participants need to be
widely discussed during the work process of the teams, with the aim to improve contraception
care, thus contributing to the reduction of unplanned pregnancies and their implications.
