Abstract

Introduction Family planning is an effort to regulate the number of children and rugulate the desired birt spacing. So the government launched a programer method to prevent and delay pregnancy ( Sulistyawati, 2013). In the period from 2016 to 2019, the number of fertile Age Couples (PUS) in East Java Province increased, from 7,929,796 to 7,940,395. Several disticts/ cities in East Java were recorded as having fairly high number of PUS, including Malang City with 508,638. Method The method uses in this study was observasional analityic, sampling was carried out using the Accidental Sampling technique with 40 respondents. The instrumen used was a questionnaire using primary data. Result Mother age 20-35 years using 1- mont injection contraception totaled 17 people (42,5%) with (p=0,498). Mother with high school education using 1-month injection contraseption were 18 people (45,0) with (p=0,576). Working mothers who used 1-month injection contraception were 21 people (52,5%) with (p=0,704). Mothers who had UMK income were 15 people (37,5%) with (p=0,607). Primiparous mothers who used 1-month injection contraception were 10 people (25,0%) with (p=0,664). Conclusion there is no relationship between factors including age, education, occupation, income, and parity that affect the hight use of 1-mont injection contraception at PMB Lu’luul Maknun Surabaya

Review

This study aimed to identify factors influencing the high acceptance of 1-month injectable birth control at Pmb Lu'luul Maknun Surabaya. The topic of understanding contraceptive uptake is highly relevant to public health and family planning efforts, particularly in regions experiencing an increase in the number of Women of Reproductive Age (PUS). The authors utilized an observational analytic design, exploring potential demographic and socioeconomic determinants such as age, education, occupation, income, and parity. The abstract presents a clear objective and a concise overview of the methods and results. However, several methodological limitations presented in the abstract warrant consideration. The use of accidental sampling with a small sample size of 40 respondents significantly compromises the representativeness and generalizability of the findings. Accidental sampling is susceptible to selection bias, making it challenging to extrapolate results to a broader population. Furthermore, while the abstract reports p-values for the examined factors, all of which are non-significant (p > 0.05), the absence of effect sizes (e.g., odds ratios or relative risks) makes it difficult to interpret the practical significance or strength of any observed trends. The specific statistical tests employed to determine these relationships are also not specified within the abstract. The conclusion that there is no relationship between age, education, occupation, income, or parity and the high use of 1-month injection contraception is a key finding, though potentially constrained by the methodological approach. This suggests that other, unexamined factors might be more influential in contraceptive choice in this specific setting. For future research, it is strongly recommended to employ larger, more representative samples obtained through robust probability sampling techniques to enhance the study's statistical power and external validity. Additionally, expanding the scope to investigate qualitative factors such as provider counseling, personal experiences with side effects, cultural perceptions, or social network influences could offer a more holistic understanding of contraceptive acceptance beyond basic demographics.
