Hubungan Penggunaan KB Suntik Terhadap Siklus Menstruasi Dan Peningkatan Berat Badan Ibu Di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Simpang IV Sipin Kota Jambi

Abstract

One of the government's programs related to National Family Planning (KB) is the use of injectable contraceptives. The impact is in the form of menstrual cycles that interfere with daily activities and decreased endurance due to increased body weight. This study aims to determine whether there is a relationship between the use of injectable birth control and menstrual cycle irregularities and an increase in maternal weight in the Simpang IV Sipin Health Center Work Area. This research is an analytic descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was carried out by filling out questionnaires and data were analyzed using a frequency distribution. Based on statistical tests, it was found that the p-value was 0.015 <0.05, meaning that there was a relationship between the use of injectable birth control and the mother's menstrual cycle, and there was a relationship between the use of injection contraceptives and an increase in maternal weight with a p-value of 0.001 <0.005. There is a relationship between the use of injectable birth control on the menstrual cycle and an increase in maternal weight and the side effects are most commonly experienced by mothers who use the 3-month injection type of family planning rather than mothers who use the 1-month type of family planning in the Simpang IV Sipin Health Center work area.
