Abstract

Introduction: Indonesia ranked third among ASEAN countries in maternal mortality rate (MMR) in 2017, with 177 deaths per 100,000 live births. This high rate has prompted various governmental initiatives to reduce MMR, with the family planning (FP) program being one of the most effective strategies. However, the uptake of long-acting and permanent contraceptive methods (LAPMs) remains low, particularly due to social and personal barriers. This study aims to analyse the factors influencing the use of long-acting contraceptive methods (LAPMs) among family planning acceptors. Method: A quantitative correlational study with a cross-sectional design was employed. The study involved 35 FP acceptors selected from a population 62 using accidental sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed through the Chi-square test with a significance threshold of α = 0.05. Results: The findings revealed significant associations between LAPM use and three key factors: knowledge (p = 0.036), attitude (p = 0.027), and husband’s support (p = 0.005). Most respondents who did not use LAPMs had poor knowledge, unfavourable attitudes, and lacked spousal support. Conclusion: There is a statistically significant relationship between knowledge, attitude, husband’s support and the use of long-acting contraceptive methods. These findings highlight the importance of educational interventions and partner involvement in enhancing LAPM uptake

Abstract

Introduction: Handwashing with soap (HWWS) is a key indicator of clean and healthy living behavior and plays a crucial role in preventing infectious diseases among adolescents. Schools are strategic settings for health promotion, and educational media such as audiovisual materials and posters are widely used to improve students’ knowledge and hygiene practices. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education using audiovisual media and posters in increasing adolescents’ knowledge of HWWS. Methods: This quasi-experimental study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design involving 37 eighth-grade students at SMPN 5 Kendari. Participants received health education delivered through audiovisual media and posters. Knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest questionnaires. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate methods, including the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test due to non-normal data distribution. Results: The findings showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 56.89 to 63.78 after exposure to audiovisual media, and from 57.43 to 74.46 after exposure to poster media. The Wilcoxon test indicated significant differences between pretest and posttest scores for both press (p = 0.000), confirming the effectiveness of both approaches. Poster media demonstrated a greater improvement in students’ HWWS knowledge compared to audiovisual media. Conclusion: Health education using both audiovisual and poster media effectively increased adolescents’ HWWS knowledge, with poster media showing superior impact. These results highlight the importance of utilizing a variety of educational tools in school-based hygiene promotion. Schools are encouraged to integrate both media regularly in health education activities and collaborate with local health centers to promote continuous HWWS. Future studies should explore more advanced audiovisual content and evaluate long-term behavioral changes among students.
