The Importance of Nursing in Family Planning

Abstract

Sexual and reproductive rights are recognized through national laws, so Family Planning must be carried out by the woman and man individually or by the couple, regardless of the type of union and the option to constitute or not a family. However, it is noted the importance of Nursing in Family Planning in view of the perspective of the development of the Family Health Strategy over several decades in Brazil, where providing families with the realization of Family Planning requires humanized reception, qualified listening, theoretical-scientific knowledge, information and assistance, so that they freely decide whether or not to start and at what time this should happen. Thus, it is intended that this choice should happen in a timely manner, avoiding disproval's not only by an unplanned pregnancy, but also by decreasing morbidity and mortality from related causes.
