SAÚDE SEXUAL E REPRODUTIVA E PLANEJAMENTO FAMILIAR NO CONTEXTO DE IMIGRANTES BRASILEIRAS E AFRICANAS QUE VIVEM EM PORTUGAL
Resumo
A saúde sexual e reprodutiva representa uma das principais preocupações da Saúde Pública, pois afeta a saúde e o bem-estardos indivíduos e compromete o nível social e econômico das sociedades. Muitos problemas relacionados a este tema são
acentuados em grupos socialmente desfavorecidos, como os imigrantes. Esta investigação, portanto, aprofunda o conhecimento
de alguns aspectos que envolvem a saúde sexual e reprodutiva de imigrantes brasileiras e africanas que vivem em Portugal,
particularmente quanto ao planejamento familiar. Os resultados evidenciam lacunas no que se refere ao conhecimento das
participantes sobre a temática, apontando para a necessidade de investimento em programas de prevenção, informação e
desenvolvimento de competências que possam contribuir com alternativas para a promoção da saúde.
