Abstract		Uvod: Fenomen kontracepcije ter njene razširjenosti in pomena, ki ga ima ta za emancipacijo žensk, krojijo številni družbeni dejavniki, med njimi tudi okolje. Namen raziskave je bil preučiti fenomen kontracepcije skozi videnja, védenja, izkušnje in doživljanja žensk, ki živijo v ruralnem okolju. Metode: V okviru kvalitativne metodologije je bil uporabljen fenomenološki pristop. Namenski vzorec je vključeval osem žensk, starih od 20 do 50 let, ki živijo v ruralnem okolju zahodne Slovenije. Raziskava je potekala aprila in maja 2015. Podatki so bili pridobljeni s pomočjo delno strukturiranih intervjujev in analizirani s pomočjo metode fenomenološke analize besedila. Rezultati: V analizi so bile identificirane štiri tematske skupine, ki konceptualizirajo preučevani fenomen: (1) dejavniki, ki vplivajo na izbiro in rabo kontracepcijske metode ter njeno sprejemljivost, (2) pomen kontracepcije za ženske, (3) vzgoja in pridobivanje ustreznega znanja o kontracepciji, (4) družbeni položaj žensk. Diskusija in zaključek: Izsledki raziskave kažejo, da je kontracepcija pomembna dimenzija kakovosti življenja žensk in njihovega družbenega položaja. Sprejemljivost kontracepcije in izbiro kontracepcijske metode oblikujejo številne družbene okoliščine in usmerjajo mnogi podporni sistemi. Medicinski sestri poznavanje teh informacij omogoča načrtovanje sistematične zdravstvene vzgoje. Priložnosti nadaljnjega raziskovanja se kažejo v preučevanju fenomena na populaciji žensk v urbanih okoljih.Introduction: The phenomenon of contraception, its prevalence and its implication for women's emancipation is influenced by a number of social factors, including the environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of contraception through the eyes, knowledge, experience and perception of women living in rural areas. Methods: The phenomenological approach was used within the framework of qualitative methodology. The purposive sample included eight women aged 20 to 50 years, living in the rural areas of western Slovenia. The research was conducted in April and May 2015. The data obtained through semi-structured interviews were analysed using the method of phenomenological text analysis. Results: The analysis yielded four thematic groups which conceptualize the studied phenomenon: (1) the factors affecting the choice and use of a contraceptive method and its acceptance, (2) the importance of contraception for women, (3) the education and acquisition of adequate contraceptive knowledge, (4) the women's social status. Discussion and conclusion: Results of the research indicate that contraception is an important dimension of women's quality of life and their social status. The acceptance of contraception and the selection of a contraceptive method are influenced by a number of social factors and guided by various support systems. The knowledge of these factors enables nurses to systematically plan and deliver health education. Further research of the phenomenon could be conducted also among urban female population.
