Abstract

The contraceptive method that dominates the choices of couples of childbearing age

(PUS) in the city of Surabaya in 2022 is the Non-Long-Term Contraceptive Method

(Non-MKJP) compared to the Long-Term Contraceptive Method (MKJP). The low

number of acceptors of contraceptive implants is due to the anxiety level of potential

acceptors. This research aimed to determine the effect of implant contraceptive

counselling using flip charts on the anxiety level of potential acceptors. This research is

pre-experimental design research. We used a purposive sampling technique to select the

sample, which included 15 respondents. The independent variable was counselling on

contraceptive implants using flip chart media, while the dependent variable was anxiety

of potential acceptors. Data collection used the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS)

questionnaire. The Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test was used to analyse the presence of

influence with a significance value of <0.05. The results of the study showed that the

anxiety level of prospective acceptors before being given intervention, the majority

(73.3%) of respondents had a mild level of anxiety after being given the intervention,

with almost all (93.3%) of respondents having no anxiety. From the results of the

analysis, the result was 0.001, which means <0.05, so it can be concluded that there is

an influence of implant contraceptive counselling using flip chart media on the anxiety

level of potential acceptors. Based on the description above, it can be concluded that

there is an influence of implant contraceptive counselling using flip chart media on the

anxiety level of prospective acceptors.
