Abstract

The three-month injectable contraceptive is a popular family planning method due to its convenience and effectiveness. However, its use often causes side effects such as menstrual cycle disturbances and weight changes, which can affect user satisfaction and continuation. The acceptor's knowledge of this contraceptive method is crucial for anticipating and managing these side effects. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the level of knowledge of acceptors and the occurrence of side effects from the use of the three-month injectable contraceptive at Jetis 1 Public Health Center in 2025. Using a quantitative analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design, data from 53 acceptors were randomly selected using simple random sampling and analyzed with the chi-square test. Results showed the majority of acceptors had fair knowledge (49.1%) and most experienced side effects (83%). Menstrual disorders (79.8%) and weight changes (64.2%) were the most common side effects. A significant relationship was found between acceptor knowledge and side effects (p = 0.001). It is concluded that acceptor knowledge plays a significant role in experiences of side effects with the three-month injectable contraceptive. It is recommended that health workers intensify education and counseling to help acceptors effectively manage side effects.

Review

This study, titled "Hubungan Pengetahuan Akseptor Dengan Efek Samping Penggunaan Kontrasepsi KB Suntik 3 Bulan Di Puskesmas Jetis I Tahun 2025," investigates the crucial relationship between acceptor knowledge and the side effects associated with three-month injectable contraceptive use. The abstract clearly articulates the relevance of this topic, given the widespread use of this method and the impact of side effects on user satisfaction and continuation. Employing a quantitative analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design on 53 randomly selected acceptors, the study identifies that a significant majority of participants experienced side effects (83%), primarily menstrual disorders and weight changes, and that a significant relationship (p = 0.001) exists between acceptor knowledge and the occurrence of these side effects. This finding underscores the importance of adequate knowledge in navigating contraceptive use. While the study addresses a highly pertinent public health issue and utilizes an appropriate statistical test, there are several points for consideration. The abstract indicates the study was conducted in "2025," which appears to be a typographical error given the presentation of already concluded results. The cross-sectional design, while effective for identifying associations, limits the ability to infer direct causality. Further elaboration in the full paper on *how* knowledge specifically influences the experience of side effects—whether it leads to fewer actual occurrences, better self-management, or more accurate reporting—would strengthen the interpretation. Additionally, a sample size of 53 from a single public health center, while potentially adequate for the statistical analysis performed, limits the generalizability of these findings to a broader population. The precise measurement of "knowledge" and "side effects" and their categorization also warrants more detail to fully assess the study's robustness. Despite these methodological considerations, the study's conclusion that acceptor knowledge plays a significant role in the experience of side effects is a valuable contribution to the field. The recommendation for health workers to intensify education and counseling is well-supported by the findings and offers direct, actionable insights for improving family planning services. Future research could build upon this by exploring the specific mechanisms through which knowledge influences side effect experiences, perhaps through qualitative or longitudinal studies. Additionally, intervention studies designed to test the efficacy of enhanced educational programs on side effect management and contraceptive continuation would provide further evidence-based strategies for improving client outcomes.
