Factors Influencing Midwives Preparedness in Postnatal Family Planning Services and Their Impact On Contraceptive Care in Independent Midwifery Practices
Main Article Content
Abstract
Midwives, as key providers of family planning services, must continually improve their education, knowledge, and skills to offer effective contraceptive care. These needs arise from the evolving landscape of scientific knowledge and technology, requiring regular updates and elevation of family planning service standards. This ensures the enhancement of the quality of contraceptive services and fosters trust among potential acceptors. This study aims to analyze the factors affecting midwives’ readiness in postnatal family planning services and their correlation with the quality of contraceptive care in independent midwifery practices (IMPs). In this study, the researchers applied quantitative research with an analytical survey design and a cross-sectional approach. The study samples comprised licensed midwives operating independent midwifery practices (IMPs) in Sleman, Yogyakarta. Samples were selected using the quota sampling technique, in which the researchers determined a minimum sample size of 30 respondents for the study. The conducted data analysis involved both univariate and bivariate analyses. Concerning the bivariate analysis, the researchers employed the regression test. In the univariate analysis, it revealed that the majority of respondents had a vocational education background (53.1%). As for the midwives’ knowledge regarding postnatal family planning, a significant majority demonstrated a moderate level of understanding (59.4%). Additionally, most midwives exhibited updated skills following contraceptive training (75%). In the bivariate analysis, the significance values for skills/update training in providing Intrauterine Device (IUD) contraceptive services, pill contraceptive services, and knowledge regarding condom contraceptive services were found to be 0.042, 0.026, and 0.019, respectively, all below the threshold of < 0.05. In conclusion, there exists a noteworthy correlation between skills acquired through contraceptive training and the provision of Intrauterine Device (IUD) contraceptive services as well as contraceptive pills. Moreover, there is a significant correlation between knowledge levels and the provision of condom contraceptive services.
