Abstract

Background: The high birth rate is the main reason for the need for family planning services. Data at the Semen Health Center shows low interest in IUD compared to other contraceptives, this can be caused by several existing factors. This study aims  to  determine the relationship between the level of education and knowledge of acceptors with the use of IUD (Intrauterine Device) contraceptives at the UPTD Semen Health Center, Kediri Regency East Java Indonesia. Method: This study is a quantitative study with a Cross-Sectional research plan. The sampling technique used in this study was Purposive Sampling with a sample size of 100 KB acceptor respondents in Semen District, Kediri Regency. This study was conducted in April 2024. Data collection used a questionnaire instrument. Data were analyzed using the Spearman's rho test. Result: Secondary education level (SLTA/SMK) (51%) and basic education level (SD-SMP) (43%). High knowledge, namely 83 respondents (83%). Half of the birth control acceptors are non-IUD users (74%). The results of the analysis of the Spearman's Rho test at the education level with the use of IUD contraceptives are known that the results of sig. (2-tailed) of .140, and knowledge with the use of IUD contraceptives is known as the results of sig. (2-tailed) of .038. Conclusion : There was no relationship between education level and IUD contraceptive use and there was a significant relationship between knowledge and use of birth control. Acceptors need to be proactive in seeking information about the use of IUD contraceptives through various sources such as print media, electronic media, the internet, and consultation with health professionals. This can help in choosing the right method or contraceptive for them to use.

Abstract

Background: Anemia during pregnancy remains a critical contributor to maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Pregnant women affected by anemia are at an elevated risk of experiencing postpartum hemorrhage, a condition that can be life-threatening. The primary cause of anemia in pregnancy is iron deficiency. Preventive strategies can be significantly improved through educational interventions that enhance maternal knowledge and promote positive attitudes toward the importance of adequate nutritional intake during pregnancy. Method: This research utilized a quantitative analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. The study examined age, parity, and adherence to iron supplement consumption as independent variables, while the dependent variable was the occurrence of anemia in the third trimester of pregnancy. A total sampling technique was employed, Primary data were collected through questionnaires, maternal and child health (KIA) records, and laboratory test results. The data collected were analyzed using the Chi-square statistical test. Result: Among the participants, 53.3% of pregnant women aged 20–35 years were found to be anemic (n = 16). However, Chi-square analysis indicated no statistically significant association between age and anemia status (p = 0.645). Similarly, analysis of parity revealed a p-value of 0.214, suggesting no significant correlation. In contrast, compliance with iron tablet intake showed a statistically significant relationship with anemia incidence; 60% of non-compliant women (n = 18) were anemic, and the Chi-square test produced a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant association (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The findings suggest that there is no significant relationship between age or parity and the incidence of anemia in third-trimester pregnant women. However, adherence to iron supplementation is significantly associated with anemia status, highlighting the importance of compliance in preventing anemia during pregnancy.
