<![CDATA[This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the management of contraceptive side effects and the continuation of contraceptive use at the Lemito Regional General Hospital (RSUD). Data were obtained from 40 respondents and analyzed quantitatively using a cross-sectional analytical approach. Univariate analysis was used to describe age, education, side-effect management, and continuation of use, while bivariate analysis—employing the Chi-square test and Spearman correlation—was conducted to assess the relationship between side-effect management and the continuation of contraceptive use. The majority of respondents were aged 20–35 years (65.0%), had a high school education (55.0%), received good side-effect management (60.0%), and continued using contraceptives (67.5%). Tabulation results showed that 91.7% of respondents who received good side-effect management continued use, whereas 85.7% of those with poor management did not continue. Statistical tests revealed a significant relationship between side-effect management and the continuation of contraceptive use (p<0.001; r=0.662). These findings underscore that anticipatory counseling, rapid response to complaints, clear information, and follow-up care play crucial roles in preventing the discontinuation of contraceptive use.]]>
