Скачать или смотреть Contraceptive Counseling for Primary Care NPs

Some people feel really uncomfortable talking about anything that has to do with reproductive health. Some of these people are patients, and some of them are healthcare professionals. Are you one of them?

If you thought that you might be off the hook because you work in primary care - you’re not. It’s a part of taking care of the entire patient. When you know and understand your patients’ goals for family planning a lot of other pieces of the clinical picture can become more clear.

Having a plan for the conversation is a good way to get more comfortable. If you get stuck just trying to think of where to start, there are tips in this week’s video that will help with the conversation. Imagine having just three questions to ask that not only guide the whole conversation, but that make the whole thing easier and less awkward for both you and the patient.

In this video, we will cover easy-to-use strategies for contraceptive counseling in primary care. Including:

✅ How to actually talk with primary care patients about contraceptives
✅ Questions to ask the patient about contraceptive methods
✅ How to match contraceptive options with the patient’s preferences
✅ How having this conversation actually empowers patients

You don’t have to know the perfect thing to say when it comes to contraceptive counseling. But having a roadmap for the conversation will make a big difference for you and your patients.
