Abstract

The use of Long-Acting Contraceptive Methods (LACMs) is an important strategy in family planning programs due to their high effectiveness and low failure rates. However, the utilization of LACMs in the community remains relatively low, partly influenced by psychological factors such as self-efficacy. This study aims to determine the correlation between self-efficacy and the use of Long-Acting Contraceptive Methods among Couples of Reproductive Age in the working area of the Lubuk Pinang Health Center in 2025. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of all Couples of Reproductive Age in the working area of the Lubuk Pinang Health Center, with a sample of 96 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected using a self-efficacy questionnaire and contraceptive use data, then analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had low self-efficacy, totaling 55 individuals (57.3%), and most used non-LACM methods, totaling 63 individuals (65.6%). Bivariate analysis indicated a significant correlation between self-efficacy and the use of LACMs (p-value = 0.000). Respondents with high self-efficacy were more likely to use LACMs compared to those with low self-efficacy. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between self-efficacy and the use of Long-Acting Contraceptive Methods among Couples of Reproductive Age in the working area of the Lubuk Pinang Health Center in 2025. It is expected that healthcare providers can enhance the self-efficacy of Couples of Reproductive Age through education and counseling to increase the use of LACMs.

Abstract

Anemia in pregnant women remains a public health problem that can have adverse effects on both the mother and the fetus, especially in the second and third trimesters when iron requirements increase. Factors that play a role in the occurrence of anemia include the level of knowledge and dietary patterns of pregnant women. This study aimed to determine the relationship between knowledge and dietary patterns and the occurrence of anemia in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters in the working area of Penarik Health Center in 2025. This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study was all pregnant women in the second and third trimesters in the working area of Penarik Health Center, with a sample size of 45 respondents taken using purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure knowledge and dietary patterns, as well as hemoglobin level examination to determine the occurrence of anemia. Data analysis was carried out univariately and bivariately using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents had sufficient knowledge (40.0%), good dietary patterns (57.8%), and did not experience anemia (53.3%). Bivariate analysis results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and the occurrence of anemia in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters (p < 0.000), and there was a significant relationship between dietary patterns and the occurrence of anemia (p = 0.008). The conclusion of this study is that there is a meaningful relationship between knowledge and dietary patterns and the occurrence of anemia in pregnant women in the second and third trimesters in the working area of Penarik Health Center. It is expected that health workers can increase health education and nutrition counseling for pregnant women as an effort to prevent anemia during pregnancy.
