Differences Between the Use of One Month Injection Contraception and Three Month Injection Contraception on the Increase in Body Weight in Contract Acceptors in PMB Sri Aningsih, Glenmore District, Banyuwangi Regency In 2024

Abstract

Developing countries like Indonesia face the biggest problem, which is population growth. The National Family Planning Movement is one way to manage the population that aims to increase human resources. Progesterone is a hormone found in injectable contraceptives for one and three months. The progesterone content in injectable contraceptives DMPA 150 mg and combined injectable contraceptives 25 mg has an impact on increasing appetite, which causes an increase in body weight. This study used a retrospective method. With a total sampling technique, this study involved 60 people who received 1-month and 3-month birth control injections. Observation sheets were tools for collecting data. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test. This study showed that those who received 1-month contraceptive injections (with 30 respondents each) experienced a weight gain of 19.32% and 41.68% in 3-month contraceptive injections (with 30 respondents each). The Mann-Whitney test value showed that Among KB acceptors, there was a significant difference in weight gain between one-month and three-month contraceptive injections (p-value = .000 <α = 0.05), indicating that Ha was accepted and H0 was rejected. It is hoped that this research will help midwives and other researchers understand the side effects of contraceptive injections.
