Contraceptive User's Profile (Profil Akseptor Kontrasepsi)

---

Objective: To obtain informations regarding the profile of contra¬ceptive users in Raden Saleh Clinic, Jakarta.
Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2012, at Raden Saleh Clinic, Jakarta. The study population was the patient who came to Raden Saleh Clinic from 2008 until 2011.

Results: The mean age of the contraception users was 34.06 and the mean of their husband's age was 38.91 years old. Most of the pa¬tients were graduated from senior high school (43.2%) and univer¬sity (37.9%). More than half of the patients (55.2%) were not work¬ing and more than a half of their husband (53.2%) were private em-ployee. Almost all (92.6%) of the patient were married. Most of the patient (38.8%) came with no prior contraception. After consult¬ation, all patients had chosen their preferred contraceptive methods, namely IUD (61.4%), injectable contraception (20.9%), pill (13.7%), sterilization (3.4%), and implant (0.6%).

Conclusion: Family planning reduces maternal mortality and the best method is different for each patient because of the difference in their own condition and the consideration of the cost and benefit. [Indones J Obstet Gynecol 2013; 1-4:179-82]
