Resumen
Introducción: la vida cotidiana se vio afectada durante el periodo de pandemia por COVID-19, por lo que se contempló una dificultad para conseguir insumos (mercadería, empleo, servicios, etc.), ahondando específicamente en la obtención de los anticonceptivos.
Objetivo: describir el impacto de la pandemia en relación con uso de métodos anticonceptivos en mujeres entre los 18 y 23 años que residan en Viña del Mar.
Métodos: el estudio es de tipo cuantitativo continuo, de corte transversal, es un muestreo no probabilístico, denominado “bola de nieve”. Se realizó una encuesta a mujeres residentes de la ciudad de Viña del Mar, el tamaño de la muestra consta de 90 personas en total, con un punto de cohorte entre los 18 y 23 años.
Resultados: el 85 % de las encuestadas son estudiantes. Los métodos anticonceptivos más utilizados son la pastilla y el condón externo. Durante la pandemia (2020, 2021, 2022) el 12,87 % abandonó su método anticonceptivo, mientras que el 17,76 % lo cambió.
Conclusión: la pandemia es un factor determinante en la adherencia a métodos anticonceptivos, a pesar que los resultados obtenidos en este estudio son positivos en comparación a otras investigaciones, se debe considerar que la interrupción de estos, supone una vulneración en los derechos sexuales y reproductivos, lo cual se debe garantizar a pesar de estar en crisis.

Introduction: Daily life was affected during the COVID-19 pandemic, so there were difficulties in getting inputs (merchandise, job, services, etc.), and obtaining contraceptives were specifically affected. Aim: describe the impact of the pandemic as regards the use of methods of contraception in women aged 18-23 living in Viña del Mar. Methods: This study is cross-sectional, continuous quantitative, a non-probabilistic sampling denominated “snowball”. Women living in Viña del Mar City were surveyed, and the sample size amounts to 90 persons, with a cohort point ranging from 18 to 23 years. Results: 85 % of surveyed women are students. The more frequently used methods of contraception are the pill and the external condom. During the pandemic (2020, 2021, 2022), 12,87 % of them left their method of contraception, whereas 17,76 % changed it. Conclusion: The pandemic is a determining factor in adherence to methods of contraception. Even though the results we obtained in this study are positive as compared to other pieces of research, it must be considered that interrupting them entails a violation of sexual and reproductive rights, which must be guaranteed despite being in a crisis. © Este es un artículo en acceso abierto.
