Objectives:
to evaluate the outcomes of Interval Copper Intrauterine Device (IUD) insertion performed by certified midwives and obstetric nurse practitioners at a Peri-Hospital Birth Center.
Methods:
a cross-sectional study was conducted involving 75 women who underwent IUD insertion between January 2018 and February 2020. Data collection was carried out using medical records and telephone interviews.
Results:
no instances of uterine perforation were observed. Expulsion rates of the devices were 1.3% within 30 to 45 days of use and 5.3% within the first year of use. The follow-up removal rate was 4.0%. The average pain score reported was 4.2 (SD = 3.3). Among those who continued using the device, 93.1% expressed satisfaction.
Conclusions:
the findings demonstrate that IUD insertion by certified midwives and obstetric nurse practitioners is a safe procedure, yielding outcomes comparable to those reported in the existing literature.

Objective:
To summarize scientific evidence on the woman-centered shared decision-making process for the promotion of contraceptive counseling.
Methods:
Integrative literature review with a sample of nine primary articles selected from MEDLINE via PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Embase, LILACS, and BDENF.
Results:
The study evidenced a comprehensive chain of segments for the development of the shared approach centered on women through counseling on contraception, fragmenting the evidence acquisition in relational elements for the choice implementation and continuation of the chosen method; systematization of consistent information for choice implementation and continuation of the method; and challenges for implementing shared decision-making.
Final considerations:
The process of woman shared decision-making centered during the consultation on contraception counseling favors the qualified choice and effective adherence to a contraceptive method based on the professional’s clinical vision adjusted to the woman’s preferences.

Objectives:
to assess the relation of the locus of control with the adolescents’ knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP).
Methods:
this is a cross-sectional study with 1,192 high school students. Data were collected using the KAP questionnaire and the Levenson locus of control scale and analyzed by descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test.
Results:
Women presented higher Externality Powerful Others locus of control than man (p=0.0015) and adolescents over 17, higher Externality Chance locus of control (p=<0.0001). Students who used contraceptive methods at the first contraceptive method had higher Externality Powerful Others (p=0.0107) and those who used coitus interruptus, had higher Externality Chance (p=0.0013). Internality was inversely proportional to the practice in relation to the dimensions of the locus of control.
Conclusions:
The dimensions of the locus of control were related to some contraceptive practices, but little or no relation to knowledge and attitude.

Objective:
To characterize the contraceptive practices of higher education students and to identify factors that contribute to the use of different contraceptive methods.
Method:
A cross-sectional, descriptive correlational study was carried out with a sample of 1946 students, with a mean age of 21 years (20.74±2.32), who attended courses at a University in the North of Portugal.
Results:
Of the factors studied, the female gender, younger ages, previous behavior of condom use, knowledge about contraception, attitude and self-efficacy for condom use were associated with safer contraceptive choices.
Conclusion:
Investing in sexual education for young people is an important public health strategy that can empower youth to make more appropriate choices and improve adherence to contraceptive methods, reducing the risk of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.
