Abstract

Hypertension is a non-contagious disease, has a high mortality rate, and affects a person’s quality of life as well as productivity. Hypertension is most prevalent in female ( 28,8%). The dosage of estrogen and progesteron hormone in hormonal contraception is suspected as the main cause of the increased blood pressure so a long term usage of hormonal contraception is not recommended. Lack of knowledge regarding hormonal contraception is one of the causes why there currently are many Keluarga Berencana's (KB) acceptors who still use a long term hormonal contraception. This study aims to improve hormonal contraception acceptor’s knowledge by providing a pocket book so the main goal of a Healthy and Prosperous KB may be achieved. pre-experimental study with one group pre-test and post-test method. A total of 100 respondents who are hormonal contraception acceptors in Soreang Public Health Center were chosen by using the simple random sampling technique. The data collected in this study was obtained through questionnaire. Wilcoxon analysis was used to determine the deviation of the knowledge value before and after the education. The survey resulted that there is improvement of knowledge of KB acceptor after being given a pocket book for hormonal contraception user with a p-value=(,000). The distribution of pocket book appeared to significantly increase the knowledge of hormonal contraception acceptor regarding the risks of hypertension.
