    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Enfermería, 2024-10-02) Punina Punina, Lucia Margarita; Moyano Calero, Willian Eudrillir
    Contraceptive methods are means that prevent and reduce the possibility of fertilization or pregnancy, being objects or procedures that allow better birth control and giving autonomy to people to decide when to have a child. The aim of this study is to describe the use of contraceptive methods in an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian highlands. The methodology has a quantitative approach, observational design and comparative scope. The population is made up of the inhabitants of an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian highlands; A sample of 202 inhabitants was obtained, to whom a questionnaire was applied that collected sociodemographic information, knowledge, use and disengagement with contraceptive methods. The results show that the inhabitants have little knowledge about the subject (89.6%). It is also identified that the most used method is the condom (36.1%). Regarding the abandonment of contraceptive use, they indicate that lack of time and disagreement with their partners are primary factors for their abandonment. In conclusion, this study provides information on the knowledge and use of contraceptive methods in an indigenous community in the Ecuadorian highlands. These findings are consistent with the challenges and patterns observed in previous studies in other indigenous communities and provide valuable information for the design of education programs and access to contraceptive methods in this population.

For data analysis and processing, the statistical program IBM SPSS 21 and Excel 2019 were used. Results: The age ranged from 36 to 45 years, corresponding to 55% of women. Ethnicity 97% indigenous, religion 51% evangelical, marital status 68% married, education level 51% primary, occupation 53% agriculture. Number of pregnancies 283, number of unplanned pregnancies 246. Knowledge 56% unknown, source of information 46% health personnel. Most used contraceptive method 24% injectables. Conclusions: A large proportion of women do not use any contraceptive method, also the acceptability for the use of methods such as condoms, intrauterine devices and ligation are minimal in their choice compared to hormonal methods.

    Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre la doble protección anticonceptiva en estudiantes de la carrera de medicina de la Universidad Técnica de Ambato
    (Universdidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Centro de posgrados, 2021-04-01) Aveiga Flores, Maricela Elizabeth Md.; Castro Acosta, Norma del Carmen Dra. Esp.
    One of the main reasons to use contraceptive methods is to avoid an unplanned pregnancy, very few take into consideration that they also need to prevent a Sexually Transmitted Infection. The use of double contraceptive protection is a form of safe sex, since through it an unplanned pregnancy can be avoided simultaneously, and a Sexually Transmitted Infection can be prevented. The objective of this research is: To determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices about contraception and how they influence the use of double contraceptive protection in students of the Medical School of the Technical University of Ambato. A study was carried out with a mixed approach: quantitative and qualitative, cross-sectional, field, the collection of information was carried out through an ethnographic survey applied to 230 students of the first, sixth and tenth semesters of the Medicine career. To determine the existence or not of independence, Pearson's Chi-square (x2) statistic was applied, the values of p <0.05 were considered significant. The results allow us to affirm that the level of knowledge about contraception possessed by medical students does not condition the preference or frequency of use of the double protection method. Regarding attitudes, these do not influence the use of double contraceptive protection; These results are maintained in all semesters of the study participants. While the practices on contraception and Sexually Transmitted Infection of first-semester medical students determine the preference or frequency of use of the double protection method. These results are not presented in the sixth and tenth semesters. Therefore, it can be concluded that knowledge and attitudes do not influence the use of double protection, while practices determine the preference or frequency of use of double contraceptive protection in first-semester students, but not in students. sixth semester and tenth semester.
