“…Changes in TFR of DKI Jakarta during 2000-2010 are dominated by the decrease in fertility rate. The decreased fertility rate that occurs at young age groups (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24), and 25-29 years old) means that more women delay childbearing, regardless the birth order. However, the proportion of married women in the young age groups increases as well.…”

“…Fertility is the result of sexual activity and fecundity or the ability to conceive until the pregnancy is over (Davis & Blake 1956;Gafar et al 2020). The age of the woman determines sexual activity and fecundity.…”

“…They may become pregnant at young age and stop going to school, thus they are women with lower educational level. To provide space for next pregnancy in their early marriage, they can use contraceptive method whose knowledge comes from exposure to media such as radio, television, and internet (Gafar et al 2020;Schoemaker 2005). Even though media have shared knowledge about contraceptive use, they have also exposed the "unprepared" young age group to a higher view of freedom in sexuality (O'Donnell, Utomo & McDonald 2020).…”

“…They are possible since there are several women in Indonesia, such as in West Nusa Tenggara, who assume that the purpose of contraceptive use is not to limit the number of children, but to provide space for live births (Amran et al 2109). In addition, married women in their late 30s may experience unwanted pregnancy supposing they assume that they are infertile at that age and reluctant to use any contraceptive methods (Gafar et al 2020).…”

Fertility control has been one of the priorities of development in Indonesia. However, the 2000 and 2010 population censuses showed an increase in fertility indicators. To identify the sources of increased fertility in developed and less developed areas, DKI Jakarta and East Nusa Tenggara Provinces were selected for comparison. Using 2000 and 2010 census data, the decomposition analysis shows that the increase in Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of DKI Jakarta was dominated by the increase in nuptiality rate, while the increase in TFR of East Nusa Tenggara was mainly caused by the increase in Marital Fertility Rate (MFR). The highest increase in the proportion of married women in DKI Jakarta occurs in the age group of 15-19 years old, followed by the age group of 20–24 years old. The increase in MFR in East Nusa Tenggara occurs in nearly all age groups, particularly in the age groups of 30–34 and 35–39 years old. Identifying the sources of the increase in TFR is important for population policy to support population growth control, fertility reduction, and human resource quality improvement. The main suggestions based on the findings are the promotion of higher educational level and the benefits of postponing marriage among the younger age groups in DKI Jakarta as well as the use of contraceptive methods to control birth rate in East Nusa Tenggara.

“…Birth control in family planning is used to control the time between pregnancies. Although the number of family planning users is increasing, the determinant of contraceptive use in married women in Indonesia is still insufficient [7]. There are several types of contraceptive methods in family planning.…”

BACKGROUND: Depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA) is one of the most effective contraceptive methods currently widely used. Injectable contraceptives, including DMPA, are growing in popularity because of their ease of use, effectiveness and affordability. The use of DMPA also has advantages such as not interfering with sexual relations, does not need male participation, does not require storage space, and is easy to obtain and helps increase body weight. AIM: The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of the duration of use of DMPA on the thickness of the vaginal epithelium of mice. METHODS: The research design used in this study was true experimental with a post-test only control group design approach. This research was carried out treatment at a dose of 0.39 mg/mouse/day DMPA exposure in mice. The phenomenon observed in this study was the thickness of the vaginal epithelium of mice. This study used mice with the completely randomized design method and was carried out at the Pharmacology Laboratory and the Anatomical Pathology Laboratory, FKH Unsyiah. The collection of data technique was conducted by observation with a light microscope to calculate the average thickness of the vaginal epithelium of mice injected with DMPA in the four groups. The data analysis technique was carried out in five stages, namely, the normality test of the sample data with the Shapiro–Wilk test, the homogeneity test of variance with the Levene test, and comparing the thickness of the vaginal epithelium in each of the two treatment groups using the independent t-test. RESULTS: The finding revised that there was a significant difference in the thickness of the vaginal epithelium in the two treatment groups 10 days and 15 days of DMPA exposure which was indicated by a p = 0.003 (p < 0.05). DMPA exposure levels cause thinning of the vaginal epithelial thickness. The average thickness of vaginal epithelium exposure to DMPA for 10 days in the control group was 182536.33 ± 5773.465. In the treatment group, exposure to DMPA for 10 days, the thickness of the vaginal epithelium was 168322.33 ± 7611.300. The mean vaginal epithelial thickness in the 15-day DMPA exposure group in the control group was 177242.83 ± 9689.558. In the 15-day DMPA exposure treatment group, the thickness of the vaginal epithelium was 138674.83 ± 17176.124. CONCLUSION: The application of social marketing has not been effective in changing the smoking behavior of students in Aceh. The application of social marketing needs to be supported by internal and external Islamic Boarding Schools.

Prevalence and factors associated with the utilisation of modern contraceptive methods among married women of childbearing age in Yemen: a secondary analysis of national survey data

ObjectiveImproving reproductive health requires access to effective contraception and reducing the unmet need for family planning in high-fertility countries, such as Yemen. This study investigated the utilisation of modern contraception and its associated factors among married Yemeni women aged 15–49 years.Design and settingA cross-sectional study was conducted. Data from the most recent Yemen National Demographic and Health Survey were used in this study.ParticipantsA sample of 12 363 married, non-pregnant women aged 15–49 was studied. The use of a modern contraceptive method was the dependent variable.Data analysisA multilevel regression model was used to investigate the factors associated with the use of modern contraception in the study setting.ResultsOf the 12 363 married women of childbearing age, 38.0% (95% CI: 36.4 to 39.5) reported using any form of contraception. However, only 32.8% (95% CI: 31.4 to 34.2) of them used a modern contraceptive method. According to the multilevel analysis, maternal age, maternal educational level, partner’s educational level, number of living children, women’s fertility preferences, wealth group, governorate and type of place of residence were statistically significant predictors of modern contraception use. Women who were uneducated, had fewer than five living children, desired more children, lived in the poorest households and lived in rural areas were significantly less likely to use modern contraception.ConclusionsModern contraception use is low among married women in Yemen. Some individual-level, household-level and community-level predictors of modern contraception use were identified. Implementing targeted interventions, such as health education on sexual and reproductive health, specifically focusing on older, uneducated, rural women, as well as women from the lowest socioeconomic strata, in conjunction with expanding availability and access to modern contraceptive methods, may yield positive outcomes in terms of promoting the utilisation of modern contraception.
