Item UTILIZACIÓN DE MÉTODOS ANTICONCEPTIVOS EN ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS(2025-06-17) Silva Muñoz, Josselin Estefania; Moyano Calero, Willian Eudrillir; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de EnfermeríaContraceptive methods encompass a variety of techniques that are used to prevent pregnancy and, in certain cases, also provide protection against sexually transmitted infections. These methodologies include barrier techniques such as condoms, hormonal strategies including oral contraceptive pills, transdermal patches and vaginal rings, intrauterine devices (IUDs), permanent solutions such as tubal ligation and vasectomy, natural techniques based on the menstrual cycle, and emergency interventions such as the postcoital contraceptive pill. The objective of this study was to evaluate the use of contraceptive methods among university nursing students at the Technical University of Ambato. A quantitative approach was used, with a cross-sectional observational design and a correlational scope. The population consisted of 912 students from first to seventh semester of the nursing career of the Technical University of Ambato, and the sample size was 221 students, selected by probability sampling by conglomerates, to whom a questionnaire was applied consisting of 11 ordinal Likert-type questions. The results showed that 51.1% of the students used contraceptive methods, with condoms being the preferred option (46.6%), while 48.9% did not use any contraceptive method. A statistically significant correlation was found between contraceptive use and demographic factors such as sex, geographic origin, and age at which individuals first had sexual intercourse. Students have a moderate level of knowledge about contraceptive methods, although real-life application of contraceptive methods remains limited, and demographic characteristics exert considerable influence on contraceptive selection and use.Item Uso de anticoncepción en mujeres de la zona rural indígena(Universidad Técnica de Ambato/Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud/Carrera de Enfermería, 2022-10-12) Huilcapi Llango, Angel Oswaldo; Analuisa Jiménez, Eulalia IsabelIntroduction: Family planning provides access to the use of contraceptive methods that allow benefits in sexual and reproductive health.

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.Item “Estudio de correlación entre el uso de métodos anticonceptivos y la presencia de lesiones cervicales detectadas en la citología cérvico vaginal exfoliativa de las pacientes que acuden al Hospital General docente Ambato”(Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Laboratorio Clínico, 2019-04-01) Toctaquisa Raza, Daisy Morayma; Cevallos Espinel, Johanna AlexandraDra.Cervical cancer is considered the most frequent pathology in sexually active women.

Then, it was identified that the contraceptive method most used in patients is the injectable with 39.3% (n = 107), in addition it was determined that 17.0% (n = 46) of the patients had low-grade intraepithelial lesions (LSIL).Item Impacto de Estrategia Educativa que Influye sobre Factores Socioculturales en Aceptación de Métodos Anticonceptivos, Santa Rosa de Pichul, 2015-2016(Universidad Técnica de Ambato-Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud-Dirección de Posgrado, 2016-11-01) Silvana Paola Md., Parra Robalino; Misladys Dra.
