RESUMO
Actualmente residen en nuestro país 6 millones de inmigrantes. La mitad son mujeres, la mayoría en edad fértil. Son un grupo de especial problemática, con altas tasas de interrupción voluntaria de embarazo (IVE) en el que es fundamental abordar su salud reproductiva. Hemos dilucidado cómo es el uso de métodos anticonceptivos por esta población. Para ello revisamos 1.100 historias de nuestra consulta de salud sexual y reproducción. El colectivo más prevalente que acude a nosotros en busca de información son las latinoamericanas, seguidas por europeas del Este y marroquíes, y en menor proporción asiáticas y subsaharianas. Los anticonceptivos más utilizados son el DIU, sobre todo latinoamericanas y europeas del Este, y los anticonceptivos orales combinados, más utilizados entre las marroquíes. Es importante informar a las mujeres inmigrantes sobre anticoncepción, teniendo en cuenta sus preferencias, para aumentar la adherencia al tratamiento y disminuir las altas tasas de IVE (AU)
There are currently 6 million immigrants living in Spain. Half of them are women, the majority of whom are of childbearing age. These women, who suffer high rates of induced abortion, form a special group who require a special approach to their reproductive health. In order to study the use of contraceptive methods in this population, a review was made of 1100 clinical histories from our Sexual Health and Reproduction Clinic. Latin American women were the most prevalent group who came to seek information about contraception, followed by Eastern Europeans and Moroccans. Fewer Asian and Sub-Saharan women sought these services. The contraceptives most frequently used were the intrauterine device (used mostly by Latin American and Eastern European women), and combined oral contraception, most used by Moroccan women. It is important to advise the immigrant women about contraceptive methods, taking into account their preferences, in order to improve adherence to the method (AU)
