The number of women of childbearing age in Indonesia is the largest number of WUS in Southeast Asia. However, Indonesia is the largest user of contraception. The Covid-19 outbreak also affects the use of contraception. This outbreak was declared a global health emergency, requiring restrictions on physical and social activities and contacts, up to large-scale quarantine. This causes major changes in the social structure, which usually changes activities outside the home to activities at home. Apart from that, the pandemic has also increased sexual contact, thereby allowing an increase in the number of pregnancies. So it is necessary to strengthen knowledge on the use of contraception. The aim of this activity is to assist PUS in choosing the type of contraception during the Covid-19 pandemic in maintaining reproductive health using counseling methods on contraceptive selection. This community service activity has been successfully implemented. WUS in the Maccini Health Center area of Makassar City have also received information about contraception, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Judging from the EFA response, this activity was welcomed and considered to have provided positive benefits during the pandemic.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is a non-communicable disease that is one of the main causes of premature death worldwide. Generally, hypertension is found in people with old age, but in its development, hypertension also affects people of reproductive age, such as women of childbearing age. This study aimed to analyze the risk factors for hypertension in WUS in the working area of ​​the Naibonat Health Center. The type of research used is quantitative, with a case-control study approach. The case population in this study was 511 WUS, then 55 case samples were taken using a simple random sampling technique, and 55 control samples were taken from the respondent's closest neighbors. The data obtained were analyzed using the chi-square statistical test. The dependent variable in this study was hypertension, while the independent variables were age, family history, use of hormonal contraception, obesity, and stress. The results showed that three variables had a relationship with hypertension in women of childbearing age, namely age (p=0.000, OR=7.111), family history (p=0.002, OR=3.710), and physical activity (p=0.000, OR=4.495). in comparison, the use of hormonal contraception, obesity and stress did not have a relationship with the incidence of hypertension in women of childbearing age. The Puskesmas is expected to increase efforts to prevent hypertension by optimally improving services, especially in increasing public knowledge about hypertension so that people can maintain normal blood pressure and can avoid risk factors that can cause hypertension.
