Abstract
Background: Injectable contraception is the most widely used method by women in Indonesia; however, its effectiveness heavily depends on adherence to follow-up visits. Non-adherence to the injection schedule increases the risk of unintended pregnancy. Objective: This study aimed to measure the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving the knowledge and adherence of injectable contraceptive acceptors at Posi-Posi Community Health Center. Methods: The study used a Pre-Experimental design with a One Group Pretest-Posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 respondents selected using total sampling technique. Data were analyzed using the Paired Sample T-Test. Results: The mean knowledge score increased significantly from 1.73 to 1.37 (p-value 0.000). The level of adherence also showed a significant increase from a mean of 1.27 to 1.07 (p-value 0.031). After the education, the number of adherent acceptors increased from 73.3% to 90%. Conclusion: The provision of education is significantly effective in improving the knowledge and follow-up visit adherence of injectable contraceptive acceptors at Posi-Posi Community Health Center.
