<![CDATA[Background: High population growth and unintended pregnancies remain significant public health challenges in developing countries. Long-Term Contraceptive Method (LTMC) are proven to be highly effective and cost-efficient in reducing maternal mortality, yet their utilization among women of reproductive age (WRA) remains low. Understanding the determinants of LTMC uptake is crucial for improving family planning programs. Purpose: To determine the factors associated with the use of long-term contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age. Method: A quantitative analytical study using a cross-sectional approach was conducted on 99 respondents selected using consecutive sampling techniques. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed significant associations between knowledge (p=0.011), attitude (p=0.003), husband's support (p=0.001), and LARC utilization. Conclusion: Knowledge, attitude, and husband's support were significantly associated with LARC utilization among women of reproductive age.]]>

<![CDATA[Background: Tooth brushing behavior is the act of cleaning the oral cavity and teeth from food residue using a toothbrush. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2017 explained that the largest incidence of dental and oral problems was dental caries in children 60% to 90%. Caries is a disease of hard tissue (email, dentin) caused by the activity of microorganisms in carbohydrates that cannot be broken down. The main factors causing tooth decay are the host (teeth and saliva), substrate (food), caries caries-causing microorganisms, and time. The habit of brushing your teeth properly is the most effective way to tooth decay. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between tooth-brushing behavior and the incidence of caries. Methode: This research method uses quantitative research with a cross-sectional research design and Data analysis using a total sampling method of 70 respondents at SDN Kampung Melayu 06 Tangerang in August and used Spearman rank correlation test analysis. Result: The results of this study indicate that there is a relationship between dental behavior and the incidence of caries with a P-value of 0.000 r = 0.477.]]>

Purpose: To determine the effect of a combination of guided imagery and music therapy on the anxiety level of third-trimester pregnant women in the working area. Method: A quantitative approach with a Quasi-Experiment design, utilising a One-Group Pretest-Posttest layout without a control group. The sampling technique used was non-probability, specifically accidental sampling. Based on Roscoe's theory, the sample size was set at 10-20 individuals. Results: The results of the paired samples T-test showed a p-value of 0.001, which is less than the significance level (α = 0.05).

The research instrument was an adapted version of the Educational Stress Scale for Adolescents (ESSA) questionnaire. Bivariate data analysis was performed using the non-parametric Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. Results: Statistical analysis showed that the mean academic stress score before the intervention (pre-test) was 53.83, which significantly decreased to 35.56 after the intervention (post-test), yielding a p-value of 0.00.

<![CDATA[Background: The use of long-acting contraceptive methods (LACMs), particularly the Intrauterine Device (IUD), remains relatively low despite their high effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. The low uptake of IUDs is influenced by various factors, including limited knowledge among women of reproductive age and a lack of spousal support in decision-making regarding contraceptive use. Objective: This study aims to analyse the relationship between the knowledge of women of reproductive age and spousal support with the duration of IUD use. Methods: This study employed a correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample comprised 36 women of reproductive age who were IUD users, selected using purposive sampling within the catchment area of the Neglasari Community Health Centre. Data were collected via a questionnaire covering respondent characteristics, knowledge levels, and spousal support. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate methods, employing Fisher’s Exact test. Results: The findings indicate that the majority of respondents possessed good knowledge and received support from their husbands. A significant relationship was found between knowledge and the duration of IUD use, with respondents possessing good knowledge tending to use the IUD for more than two years. Furthermore, spousal support was also significantly associated with the duration of IUD use, with an Odds Ratio (OR) of 8.313, indicating that women who received spousal support were more likely to use the IUD long-term. Conclusion: Knowledge and spousal support are important factors in the continued use of the IUD; therefore, improved health education and partner involvement are required.]]>
