Introduction: Midwifery documentation is a process of recording, reporting, and storing the information or meaningful data which based on the accurate and complete written communication. The documentation is an evidence of the implementation of midwifery care which is useful for midwives, patients, and other health workers. Materials and Methods:The study employed comparative method with quasi-experiment design. By employing purposive sampling technique, 84 acceptors of family planning were chosen. Moreover, they were divided into two groups; 42 acceptors who used conventional documentation and 42 acceptors who used Smart Contraception documentation. The data were analyzed by using Univariate analysis to find out the mean and Bivariate analysis by using Chi-square test.Results: From 29 out of 42 (69%) samples, it was found that the accessibility of documentation by using Smart Contraception was easier than using conventional method, meanwhile 13 out of 42 (31%) samples found it difficult. In conventional method, 23 out of 42 (54,8%) samples found it easier in documenting by using conventional method than using Smart Contraception application, meanwhile 19 out of 42 samples found it difficult. The statistical result showed that p value 0.006 (<0.05) which means that there was difference between the use of Smart Contraception application and conventional method in doing documentation. Conclusion:Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that Smart Contraception was better on documentation accessibility than conventional documentation.
INTRODUCTION: Contraception is a method which used to prevent pregnancy and to reduce the maternal mortality, particularly in 4T condition; too young to give birth, too often to give birth, too close in spacing between births, and too old to give birth. However, the number of Drop Out from contraceptive in Indonesia is still high due to the concern of contraceptive acceptors about the side effects of contraception and the inaccuracy of re-injection schedule causing the acceptors to stop using contraception. Conventional method has been used by publics to manage the contraception for a long time. In this case, conventional method has been used to deal with the side effects of contraceptive use. By using the conventional method, the acceptor must visit the public health to consult their complaints to a midwife. Moreover, midwife will give the family planning control card to the acceptor which involves re-injection’s schedule. However, many acceptors do not come to do re-injection as the schedule because they do not have an automatic reminder to remind them. Thus, the researcher interested to create a contraceptive’s application in order to help the acceptors managing their schedule. MATERIAL & METHODS: This study employed comparative method to find out the comparison on the attitude of contraceptive acceptors in solving the problems by using the Smart Contraception application and conventional method. By using purposive sampling technique, 44 respondents were chosen in this study. The respondents were divided into two groups involving 22 respondents who used Smart Contraception application and 22 respondents who used conventional method. Then, the data were analyzed by using Chi-square test. RESULTS: The result of the study showed that the use of Smart Contraception application was better than conventional method in handling the problems experienced by contraceptive acceptors. The statistical result on the attitude of contraceptive acceptors in handling the problems of contraception shows p-value 0.026 (<0.05) and p-value 0.023 (<0.05) on the accuracy of re-injection schedule, which means that there was difference between the use of Smart Contraception application and conventional method. CONCLUSION: There was difference between the use of Smart Contraception application and conventional method. Furthermore, the use of Smart Contraception was better than conventional method in handling the problems experienced by contraceptive acceptors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
