Abstract

Adolescent reproductive risk behaviors, including smoking and overt romantic involvement in school settings, may reflect limited self-control and decision-making capacity and may increase vulnerability to unintended pregnancy. Although reproductive health education is widely implemented, evidence comparing educational media for strengthening adolescents’ self-efficacy in pregnancy planning remains limited. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of video-based and leaflet-based reproductive health education in improving adolescents’ self-efficacy for pregnancy planning. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest two-group design was conducted among 46 female students at SMK PGRI 1 Magetan, East Java, Indonesia. Participants were randomly allocated to a video group (n=23) or a leaflet group (n=23). Both groups received standardized reproductive health education covering pregnancy planning, optimal reproductive age, pregnancy risks, physical, psychological, and social readiness, and reproductive decision-making. Self-efficacy was assessed using a 15-item, five-point Likert questionnaire based on the self-efficacy framework. Within-group changes were evaluated using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test, while between-group differences were assessed using the Mann–Whitney U test. Self-efficacy increased significantly in both groups (p<0.01). The mean score in the video group increased from 35.00 to 53.35, representing a 52.42% increase, whereas the leaflet group increased from 34.87 to 43.52, representing a 24.81% increase. Baseline self-efficacy did not differ significantly between groups (p=0.690), while post-intervention scores differed significantly (p<0.01). Video-based education therefore produced a greater immediate improvement in adolescent self-efficacy for pregnancy planning than leaflet-based education. These findings support the use of audiovisual media as a potentially more engaging strategy for school-based reproductive health education, while larger studies with longer follow-up are needed to determine whether the observed gains are sustained and translate into behavioral outcomes.

Abstract

Postpartum contraceptive planning is an important component of maternal healthcare because timely contraceptive selection can prevent unintended and closely spaced pregnancies and support informed reproductive decision-making. However, the effectiveness of different educational media in improving the psychological determinants of postpartum contraceptive selection remains insufficiently established. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of video-based and leaflet-based education in improving perceptions and decision-making regarding postpartum contraceptive method selection among third-trimester pregnant women. A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pretest–posttest two-group design was conducted among 40 third-trimester pregnant women at the Sukomoro Community Health Center, Magetan, Indonesia. Participants were allocated equally to a video-based education group (n = 20) and a leaflet-based education group (n = 20). Perceptions and decision-making were assessed using a structured questionnaire based on the Health Belief Model. Data were analyzed using paired-samples t-tests, Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, independent-samples t-tests, and Mann–Whitney U tests according to data distribution. Both groups demonstrated significant improvements following the intervention (p < 0.001). Perception scores increased from 64.95 ± 3.44 to 84.00 ± 4.03 in the video group, compared with 65.40 ± 3.05 to 73.50 ± 2.01 in the leaflet group. The between-group posttest difference was 10.50 points (95% CI: 8.46–12.54; p < 0.001). Decision-making also improved significantly in the video group (Z = −4.038; p < 0.001), with a significant post-intervention difference between groups (U = 2.00; Z = −5.577; p < 0.001). Video-based education produced greater immediate improvements in maternal perceptions and decision-making than leaflet-based education. Video-based education may therefore serve as a useful component of antenatal counseling to strengthen informed postpartum contraceptive planning.
