Abstract This study aims to identify, in national literature ,the health guidelines on reproductive planning. This is an integrative review carried out in April 2017 on the databases SCIELO, LILACS, BDENF and MEDLINE. The research included original articles which had health guidelines on reproductive planning and were published in 2011 or later in English, Spanish, or Portuguese. 10 articles were analyzed, from which three categories emerged: “The role of professionals in reproductive planning”, in which the focus on the idea that contraception as a woman's responsibility was reduced; “Health education from school/adolescence”, aimed at thee prevention of sexually transmitted health problems and early pregnancy; and “Contraceptive methods as synonymous with reproductive planning”, a category in which reproductive planning was reduced to contraceptive measures. Educational actions that cover the needs of the user in their entirety, including their conscious and autonomous choice when it comes to their reproductive planning, are evidently needed, both from the perspective of health professionals and from that of users of the service.
