The Influence of Knowledge on the Wife's Perception in the Use of Non-Hormonal Family Planning in Durin Jangak Village

Introduction

The use of non-hormonal family planning methods has been a topic of interest in recent years, particularly in rural areas where access to healthcare services is limited. In Durin Jangak Village, Pancur Batu District, Deli Serdang Regency, the use of non-hormonal family planning methods is still relatively low. This study aims to investigate the effect of knowledge on the wife's perception in the use of non-hormonal family planning in Durin Jangak Village in 2015.

Background

Adequate knowledge of contraceptive methods can encourage positive attitudes and intention to use it. However, in many rural areas, including Durin Jangak Village, the knowledge of non-hormonal family planning methods is still limited. This lack of knowledge can lead to negative perceptions and attitudes towards the use of non-hormonal family planning methods.

Methodology

This study uses a mixed method, which is a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. A total of 207 wives who were KB participants in Durin Jangak Village became the population in this study. Samples were taken systematically with random sampling techniques, involving 153 KB participants' wives. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires and analyzed using the Chi Square test with a significance level of α = 5%.

Results

The results of this study showed that most wives (79 people, 51.6%) had poor perceptions of non-hormonal family planning. In addition, 83 people (54.2%) have poor knowledge about non-hormonal family planning. Statistically, there is a significant relationship between the knowledge and perception of the wife about the use of non-hormonal family planning with the value of P = 0.001.

Discussion

The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship between the knowledge and perception of the wife about the use of non-hormonal family planning. This suggests that increasing knowledge about non-hormonal family planning can lead to positive attitudes and intention to use it. However, the results also show that many wives in Durin Jangak Village have poor perceptions and knowledge about non-hormonal family planning.
