Abstract

Background: Contraception is the regulation of pregnancy through the use of devices or methods aimed at preventing pregnancy. The purposes of contraceptive use include delaying pregnancy, spacing pregnancies, and terminating fertility. There are various types of contraceptive methods, each with its own advantages and disadvantages (Susanti & Sari, 2020). One of the efforts implemented in the Family Planning (FP) program is the use of contraceptive methods. Purpose: To determine the relationship between knowledge, culture, and the role of health workers and the behavior of women of reproductive age in selecting contraceptive methods. Method: This study used a quantitative analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of all women of reproductive age who were active family planning participants at Cipayung Public Health Center, totaling 62 respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed through univariate and bivariate analyses. The Chi-Square test was used to assess relationships between variables, with a significance level of 0.05. Results: The results showed that knowledge was not significantly associated with contraceptive method selection (p = 0.097), cultural factors were not significantly associated with contraceptive method selection (p = 0.397), and the role of health workers was also not significantly associated with contraceptive method selection (p = 0.706). Conclusion: There was no significant relationship between knowledge, culture, and the role of health workers and the behavior of women of reproductive age in selecting contraceptive methods.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, particularly among children under five years of age. In the working area of Puskesmas Minggir, Sleman Regency, a total of 55 stunted children were identified across five villages in 2025. The determinants of stunting are multifactorial, encompassing nutrition, maternal, and socioeconomic demensions. Purpose: To identify the determinant factors associated with stunting in children aged 24-59 month. Method: A quantitative observational analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducred from January 15-18 2026, in Sendangrejo Village. A total of 64 respondents (16 stunted, 48 non- stunted) were included. Variables examined were maternal height, maternal education, birth weight, birth length, exclusive breastfeeding, history of infectious disease, child’s sex, and family income. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate (Fisher’s Exact test and Chi-Square) analyses. Results: Of 64 children, 16 (25%) were classified as stunted. Bivariate analysis revealed a significant association between maternal education level and stunting (p = 0.002). Other variables-maternal height, birth weight, birth length, exclusive breastfeeding, history of infectious disease, child’s sex, and family income did not show statistically significant associations (p > 0.05) Conclusion: Maternal education level the determinant factor with a statistically significant association with stunting in children aged 24-59 months. Improving access to education for women is an important strategy in stunting prevention efforts.
