[Nurse delivery of oral contraception following an initial prescription for minors and uninsured patients in family planning centers of the Val-de-Marne]. / Délivrance par l'infirmière de la contraception orale suite à une prescription médicale initiale aux mineurs et aux non-assurés sociaux dans les centres de planification et d'éducation familiale du Val-de-Marne.

BACKGROUND: Since 2012 in France, nurses are allowed to renew the medical prescription of oral contraceptives (OC). To support this plan, a service protocol in family planning centers allows nurse delivery of OC. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a pilot feasibility study. After a medical prescription of OC, the nurse is authorized to deliver OC for 3months after a nursing interview. The duration of the nursing follow-up is determined by the physician. RESULTS: A total of 244 nurses interviews of 170 women were conducted between January 2012 and July 2013. All women have benefited from a delivery of contraceptives by the nurse. Analysis shows that 40 interviews (16%) had one or more abnormal criteria. Of these, more than a quarter found poor tolerance of contraception and/or the appearance of gynecological symptoms (27%) or unprotected sex with a new partner (25%). In these cases, an orientation to the physician was more frequent (85% versus 62%, P=0.005) and faster (median 33days versus 90days, P<0.001) than if the nurse interview was normal. CONCLUSION: Our study shows the feasibility of delivery protocol of oral contraception by nurses following an initial prescription by the physician.
