title: [Postcoital contraception. An emergency option].
abstract: In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the demand for postcoital contraception in both primary care centers and hospital emergency wards. This article proposes to assure professional nurses acquire adequate basic knowledge regarding this emergency contraceptive method. Due to the fact that nurses play a major role in providing women who seek this method a health education, we believe it is of importance to deal with this aspect carefully while discussing this topic.
