Abstract

The use of Intrauterine Devices (IUDs) as a method of long-term contraception remains low in several regions of Indonesia, including Muara Enim District. Understanding the determinants that influence women's interest in using IUDs is essential to improve reproductive health programs and reduce unmet contraceptive needs. This study aims to identify and analyze the determinants that influence the interest and decision to use IUD contraception among women of reproductive age in Muara Enim District, South Sumatera. A cross-sectional design was used involving 200 women of reproductive age (15–49 years), selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using multivariate logistic regression to determine the most influential factors. The study found that key determinants influencing IUD use included level of knowledge about IUDs (OR = 2.35, 95% CI: 1.42–3.89), spousal support (OR = 3.10, 95% CI: 1.75–5.49), perceived side effects (OR = 0.48, 95% CI: 0.27–0.86), and access to family planning services (OR = 2.01, 95% CI: 1.10–3.66). Educational level and previous counseling experiences were also found to be associated with higher interest in using IUDs. Interest in using IUD contraception is influenced by a combination of knowledge, social support, perception of risk, and service accessibility. Public health interventions should prioritize reproductive health education, spousal involvement, and expansion of accessible and reliable family planning services to increase IUD adoption in rural districts.

Abstract

Premarital sexual behavior among adolescents remains a significant public health concern globally and in Indonesia. The World Health Organization (2022) reported that approximately 16 million girls aged 15–19 give birth each year, with the highest proportion occurring in developing countries. In Indonesia, the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) have documented a rise in unintended pregnancies among adolescents, which is strongly associated with limited sexual health knowledge and low awareness of the risks associated with premarital sexual behavior. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of video-based health education in improving adolescents’ awareness of premarital sexual behavior. This quasi-experimental study involved all 9th-grade students (n = 282) using a total sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using SPSS. Normality testing was conducted prior to hypothesis testing. A paired sample t-test was used for normally distributed data, while the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used for non-normally distributed data. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed a significant difference in adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding premarital sexual behavior after the intervention (Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000). Since p < 0.05, the hypothesis is accepted. These findings indicate that video-based health education is effective in increasing adolescents’ awareness of premarital sexual behavior. Video-based health education significantly improves adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes regarding the risks of premarital sexual activity and represents an effective strategy for school-based sexual health promotion.
