Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to assess preconception health behaviors among Brazilian women, and analyze the effect of pregnancy planning status in carrying out preconception measures.
METHOD: This is a cross-sectional quantitative study conducted with 807 women, of whom 649 had a planned or ambivalent pregnancy. Preconception health behaviors were assessed by the Brazilian version of the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy.
RESULTS: Preconception health behaviors were performed by only 15.9% of women. Among those who planned their pregnancy, less than half completed a health measure (47.0%); the most common was seeking medical assistance and improving the diet. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed a strong association between the preconception health behaviors and a planned pregnancy (adjusted OR = 16.77; 95% CI: 9.47-29.81). Age over 30 years, paid work, and the time interval between menarche and first sexual intercourse were also associated with completing preconception measures.
CONCLUSION: The low frequency of preconception health measures, even among women who planned their pregnancy, indicates the urgency of including preconception care on the agenda of public health policies in Brazil. OBJETIVO: Mensurar a realização do preparo pré-concepcional, descrever as medidas adotadas como preparo pré-concepcional e analisar o efeito do planejamento da gravidez na realização do preparo pré-concepcional. MÉTODO: Estudo quantitativo, do tipo transversal, conduzido com 807 mulheres, das quais 649 tinham gravidez planejada ou ambivalente. O preparo pré-concepcional foi mensurado a partir do London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy , versão Brasil. RESULTADOS: O preparo pré-concepcional foi realizado por apenas 15,9% das mulheres. Dentre as que planejaram a gravidez, menos da metade realizou algum preparo (47,0%), sendo os mais frequentes ter procurado assistência médica e mudanças na alimentação. Análise de regressão logística múltipla mostrou forte associação entre a realização do preparo pré-concepcional e o planejamento da gravidez (ORajustado=16,77; IC95% 9,47-29,81). A idade acima de 30 anos, o trabalho remunerado e o intervalo de tempo entre a menarca e a primeira relação sexual também estiveram associados à realização do preparo pré-concepcional. CONCLUSÃO: A baixa frequência de realização de preparo pré-concepcional, mesmo entre mulheres com gravidez planejada, indica a urgência de se incluir o cuidado pré-concepcional na agenda de políticas públicas de saúde.
