Abstract
The knowledge is very important in shaping a person’s behavior. One of the ways motivating the progestogenonly injectable contraceptive acceptors to achieve the program of delayed pregnancy is given information by leaflet. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the leaflet on the acceptor’s knowledge about progestogen-only injectable contraceptive at Sungai Kakap community health center Kubu Raya regency in 2015. This study was a quasi-experiment with non-randomized control group pretest-posttest design on 62 selected acceptors who were determined by purposive sampling. The acceptors were divided into two groups, both leaflet and control groups had 31 acceptors. Only the leaflet group was given leaflets after the pretest. After one month, both leaflet and control groups were done the posttest. Data was analyzed using Chi-Square. The results showed that 58,06% of acceptors in the control group had good knowledge on pretest and decreased by 54,84% on the posttest. The acceptors in the leaflet group as much as 58,06% had good knowledge on the pretest and increased by 74,19% on posttest. There was a significant correlation between giving leaflet and respondent’s knowledge about injectable progestogen-only contraceptive (p-value = 0.000). Although most of the acceptors had good knowledge, widespread information regarding progestogen-only injectable contraceptive should be continued constantly.
