Abstract

Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) methods are effective, safe, and have a low failure rate. However, the interest of couples of reproductive age (CRA) in choosing LARC methods remains relatively low due to limited knowledge and understanding of their benefits and safety. One strategy to increase their interest is the use of Decision-Making Aid (ABPK) media as an educational and counseling tool. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of ABPK media on the interest of couples of reproductive age in Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) methods in Jebung Kidul Village, Bondowoso.This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted of all 706 couples of reproductive age in Jebung Kidul Village, while the sample included 88 respondents selected using the cluster sampling technique. The research instruments consisted of ABPK media and a questionnaire measuring interest in LARC methods.The results of the Wilcoxon statistical test showed a p-value of 0.000 ≤ α = 0.05. Therefore, H₀ was rejected and H₁ was accepted, indicating that the use of ABPK media was effective in increasing the interest of couples of reproductive age in Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) methods in Jebung Kidul Village, Bondowoso.Therefore, healthcare providers are expected to optimize the use of ABPK media during family planning counseling sessions to increase the interest of couples of reproductive age in choosing Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive (LARC) methods.
