Abstract

Background: The increase in population is partly due to the high dropout rate of contraceptive use. The reason for many dropouts is due to side effects. Depo Medroxy Progesterone Acetate (DMPA), as the most popular contraceptive method in Indonesia, has been reported by most acceptors to experience adverse events in the first three months of use. This affects the continuity of contraceptive use. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between side effects of DMPA injections and the continuity of contraceptive use at the Ibrahim Adjie community health center.
Methods: The research method used was a cross sectional approach. The population was women of childbearing age aged 15-49 years at Puskesmas Ibrahim Adjie, with a sample size of 100 respondents. Consecutive sampling technique. Data analysis chi square test.
Results: The results of this study showed that DMPA family planning acceptors who experienced side effects were 64 respondents (64.0%), and those who chose to drop out were 47 respondents (47.0%). The side effects of DMPA family planning caused 44 respondents (44.0%) to drop out. There was a significant relationship between the incidence of side effects of DMPA injections and the continuity of contraceptive use, with a p-value of 0.001≤ 0.05.
Conclusion: Side effects of Depo Medroxy Progesterone Acetate (DMPA) injections caused the dropout rate.
