O papel do parceiro no planejamento familiar: uma revisão integrativa.

Abstract

The role of the partner in family planning is often considered restricted, as a prototype has been formed that family issues concern women more than men. As a result, the responsibilities for unplanned pregnancies often fall on women. It is also important to consider the blurring of the image given to men in health services, which favors their mentality that the subject is restricted to women. The general objective of this study was to verify the partner's participation in family planning. This is an integrative review obtained through a survey of electronic data that aggregate evidence found in studies carried out using different methodologies. The study resulted in a reflection on the importance of the partner in family planning, and on sexist and exclusionary positions that do not recognize the importance of support and participation of partners in that process.
