Abstract   (1965 Views)
Aims: Women aged 40-52 years who use contraception are highly motivated to prevent pregnancy. In this age group, women are beginning to transition into menopause, which is the phase marked by the cessation of menstruation and the end of reproductive function. Menopausal women no longer need contraception to prevent pregnancy. This study aimed to assess the impact of educational interventions on contraceptive discontinuation among menopausal women.
Instrument & Methods: This research utilized a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental research design employing a one-group pre-post-test design and purposive sampling of 112 women. Data collection involved questionnaire completion and testing using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance level set at p<0.05.
Findings: The pre- and post-test analysis revealed significant changes in knowledge (p<0.001) and contraceptive discontinuation among respondents. The results of the pre- and post-test analyses revealed a substantial improvement in respondents’ characteristics concerning knowledge about menopause. There was a significant rise in the average score from the pre-test to the post-test across all aspects examined, including understanding, signs and symptoms, and the impact of menopause. Utilizing the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, the disparity in pre-test and post-test scores on the sub-variables of understanding, signs and symptoms, and management of menopause was statistically significant (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Implementing health education models for menopausal women is effective in enhancing knowledge and promoting independent decision-making regarding contraception cessation upon the detection of menopause.
