Abstract

Perimenopause is a natural process in a woman's life that occurs between the ages of 45 and 55 years. In the context of perimenopause, the quality of life of perimenopausal women is greatly influenced by their ability to understand and manage the biological changes that occur. Knowledge-based education has emerged as a strategic approach to improving the quality of life of perimenopausal women. The stages of implementing community service were the preparation stage, implementation stage and evaluation stage. The community service was done in collaboration between STIKes Patria Husada Blitar Indonesia dan Visayas State University Philippines as the implementation of MOU between schools and the application of the three pillars of higer education in Indonesia. There were 30 participants who entered perimenopause. The data analysis used paired sample t-test. The paired sample t-test showed a p-value of 0.000 < α0.05, indicated a difference before and after the educational intervention. The correlation value between the variables was 0.991, indicated a strong and positive correlation of the community service participants demonstrated a better understanding of general perimenopause knowledge, symptoms and impacts, treatment and prevention, and perimenopause quality of life. This increase in knowledge showed that education had an important role in helping women understand the physiological conditions they experienced. Education gives them the ability to take more adaptive and healthy actions, thus having a positive impact on their physical and psychological well-being.

Abstract

The contraceptive injection method using medroxyprogesterone (a type of progestin) which is injected every 3 months has side effects, namely menstrual cycle disorders. The longer the injection is used, the more women do not menstruate and also experience irregular bleeding. This was a descriptive study that aimed to see the menstrual disorders of 3-month contraceptive injection acceptors at the Binangun Midwife Independent Practice, Blitar Regency. The population in this study were active contraceptive injection acceptors who visited the Binangun Midwife Independent Practice, Blitar Regency, with an average population of 87 people. The sample in this study was 3-month contraceptive injection acceptors who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The number of samples in this study was 66 people with a purposive sampling technique. The data analysis used frequency distribution to describe menstrual disorders experienced by 3-months Contraceptive Injection acceptors. The results of this study indicated that the menstrual disorders experienced by 3-months contraceptive injection acceptors were mostly amenorrhea, namely 53 people (80.3%). While bleeding outside of menstruation was 10 people (15.2%) and the rest, namely 3 people (4.5%) did not experience menstrual disorders. The 3-months contraceptive injection method has been proven effective in preventing pregnancy, the therapy needs to pay attention to the side effects caused so as not to interfere with the 3-months Contraceptive Injection acceptors.
