Important results were obtained like the ignorance of the updated classification of intrauterine device's (100%), deficiencies in the knowledge of when it should be inserted (65.40%), at what age it should be used (80.00%), duration of adverse reactions (98.8%), efficacy (54.11%) and time of renewal (95.8%). Favorable results were found related to the knowledge of the contraindications, the ideal moment to insert it in the postpartum and return to fertility.
