背景资料：使用的避孕方法在年轻妇女与镰状细胞病（SCD）和影响使用的因素是unknown.Study design：年轻妇女（N=132）与SCID出席镰状细胞单位进行了采访，就其避孕的使用。结果：64例（48%）SCD患者采取了避孕措施。更常用的方法是避孕套（n=25，39%）和长效醋酸甲羟孕酮（DMPA）（n=18，28%）。在未使用者中，52%的人没有性活跃。性活跃女性不使用的原因包括怀孕的愿望（17），认为自己无法怀孕（11）和健康问题（7）。大多数人都由受过培训的专业人员告知避孕方法。百分之六十七同意至少有一个共同的牙买加神话关于避孕utility.Conclusions：这项研究表明，92%的这些妇女与SCD使用避孕方法或有理由不这样做。受试者接受了避孕方法的教育，似乎不受当地关于避孕方法使用的神话的影响。(C)2009爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Background: The usage of contraceptive methods in young women with sickle cell disease (SCD) and the factors affecting usage are unknown.Study design: Young women (N=132) with SCID attending the Sickle Cell Unit were interviewed regarding their contraceptive usage. SPSS version 12 was used for data analysis.Results: Sixty-four (48%) of women with SCD were using a contraceptive method. The more commonly used methods were condoms (n=25, 39%) and depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) (n=18, 28%). Of the nonusers, 52% were not sexually active. The reasons for nonusage in sexually active women included the desire to become pregnant (17), belief that they were unable to get pregnant (11) and health concerns (7). A majority had been informed about contraceptive methods by a trained professional. Sixty-seven percent agreed with at least one of the common Jamaican myths regarding contraceptive usage.Conclusions: This study demonstrates that 92% of these women with SCD were using contraceptive methods or had reason not to do so. Subjects had been educated about contraceptive methods and appeared to be uninfluenced by local myths regarding contraceptive usage. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
