Determinan Penggunaan Alat Kontrasepsi Tradisional Di Jawa Timur

Abstract

Determinant of Traditional ContraceptiveUse in East Java. The 2002 showed an increasing percentage of traditional contraceptive users in Indonesia, including in East Java from 2.8% to 6.7%. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of traditional contraceptive use in East Java. This study was a non-randomized study with cross sectional design using 2017 IDHS secondary data. The sample study was 5,583 married reproductive age women aged 19-49 years from the 2017 IDHS data of East Java. Data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. The determinant factors of traditional contraceptive use in 2017 IDHS data of East Java were Method Information Index (p = 0,000), age of woman (p = 0,025), education (p = 0,000), place of residence (0,004), knowledge of woman's fertile period (p = 0,006), and information from TV (p = 0.005). While information from radio (0.142) was not related to the use of traditional contraceptives. A policy on the use of modern contraceptives is needed, which is targeted and focused on women of childbearing age married with a higher education background in urban areas. Optimizing the role of family planning counselors to increase family planning knowledge is very important in increasing the use of modern contraceptives in East Java.

Determinants of the Use of Traditional Contraceptive Methods in Indonesia (2017 IDHS Data Analysis)

“…13 Another study conducted in East Java found results where women of childbearing age with marital status who used traditional contraceptive methods were grouped at the age of over 35 years. 14 Meanwhile, research conducted in Talaud District stated that none of the respondents aged less than 20 used long-term contraceptive methods. 15 According to the pregnancy planning phase, women over 35 years, are in the stage of no longer getting pregnant or terminating pregnancies, 16 while women under 20 use contraception to delay pregnancy until the safe age limit is ≥20 years.…”

“…This result is in line with the results of several studies, which state that women who live in urban areas tend to use traditional contraceptive methods. 14,16,24 Women living in urban areas have a 2.265 times greater tendency to use traditional contraceptive methods than women living in rural areas. 16 This is because rural communities have more time to access information about family planning, so more knowledge about modern contraception tools/methods is obtained.…”

“…16 This is because rural communities have more time to access information about family planning, so more knowledge about modern contraception tools/methods is obtained. 14 Rationally, women living in urban areas find it easier to access information about contraception, health facilities, modern family planning methods, and others than women living in rural areas. 14,16,25 Women who live in urban areas are more inclined to use traditional contraceptive methods due to fear of side effects from using modern family planning.…”

“…These results align with research conducted in East Java, where women who understand the fertile period are two times more likely to use traditional contraceptive methods than those who do not understand the fertile period. 14 Other studies have found that knowledge about family planning, including about the fertile period, is related to choosing to use contraception or not to use contraception. 31 Respondents who correctly understand the fertile period dare to use traditional contraceptive methods because they believe these methods are effective for choosing.…”
