Resumo
El objetivo fue identifi car el conocimiento y la actitud frente a la anticoncepción de emergencia de estudiantes de enfermería de una
universidad pública de Goiás utilizado la metodología descriptiva y analítica en la investigación con enfoque cuantitativo mediante
un cuestionario aplicado de febrero a mayo de 2011 sobre el comportamiento sexual y el conocimiento de los estudiantes acerca de la
anticoncepción de emergencia. Los participantes fueron 178 estudiantes. El conocimiento se lo confi rma por la alta frecuencia de respuestas
correctas a las preguntas, especialmente las relativas a la hora correcta, y a las instrucciones de uso (entre 86%-96%). A pesar
de que muchos estudiantes utilizan este método, todavía hay algunas dudas sobre el mecanismo de acción, los efectos secundarios y
la disponibilidad de acceso (frecuencia de aciertos inferiores al 50%). Tenga en cuenta la necesidad de desarrollar políticas educativas
que fomenten la promoción de la educación sexual en las escuelas y universidades.

A descriptive and analytical research methodology with a quantitative approach was used, applying, from February to May 2011 a questionnaire on the sexual knowledge and attitude of students regarding emergency contraception. 178 students participated in the study. Knowledge was confi rmed through the high frequency of correct answers to the questions, especially those concerning the correct time and the instructions for use (between 86% - 96%).

We noticed the need to develop educational policies that encourage the promotion of sex education in schools and universities.
