Persepsi Akseptor Suntik Depomedroksi Progesteron Asetat di Puskesmas Giwangan Yogyakarta Perceptions of Acceptors of Depomedroxy Progesterone Acetate Injactable
Abstrak: KB’s acceptors are
more interested to injection contraception. These are indicated by BKKBN
statistic from several cities, including the ones in Lampung, West Kalimantan,
and Central Java. It is interesting to examine the data in order to know
perception of the acceptors of DMPA injection, especially regarding possible
side effects caused by the usage of the contraception.
Objective: To know perception of the acceptors of DMPA injection during
their usage of the contraception.
Method: Sampling technique used is accidental sampling. Informants are
acceptors of DMPA injection receiving re-injection when data collection is being
done. Informants are asked to attend to Directed Group Discussion (Diskusi
Kelompok Terarah/DKT). The result of the discussion is transcribed and
analyzed. The analysis is done by grouping the data.
Result: Many informants have already used the DMPA injection for more
than one year. Although it is a relatively long term usage, all of the
informants do not know the way the contraception works. Not all informants feel
the contraception’s side effects.
Conclusion: Perceptions of the acceptors of DMPA injection about the
contraception are generally positive. They can accept the DMPA injection. They
can also accept the side effects as long as the uncomfortableness is still
tolerable.
