Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to gain an in-depth knowledge of young women’s experiences with receiving contraceptive counselling from healthcare professionals, and to examine which factors that influence their choice of a contraceptive method. Methods: The study has a qualitative research design. Ten individual semi-structured interviews were conducted. The participants were young women aged 18-25 who used contraceptives and lived in Norway. Data were analysed using systematic text-condensation. Results: Some women were satisfied with the contraceptive counselling they received, and experienced being cared for. Others experienced the counselling as deficient and received limited information about the safety of contraceptives, side-effects and alternative methods. Furthermore, they did not experience the counselling to be tailored to their individual needs. Women’s choices of contraceptives were influenced by factors such as the safety of the method, administration, potential side-effects, friends and healthcare professionals. Conclusion: The study revealed a potential for improvement in the counselling the young women received. The women experienced being met by healthcare professionals who showed little interest, and who lacked the knowledge to give them the information they needed. Furthermore, the women's decisions were influenced by several factors, which may be an advantage for healthcare professionals to be aware of. The study contributes knowledge that is relevant to midwives, health nurses and doctors in their future work with contraceptive counselling of young women.
