Abstract:

Introduction: This study aims to prove the model of family planning classes based on predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors to increase knowledge, attitudes, family support, and the use of long-term contraception methods in high risk fertile age pairs. Method: The design used for this study is the Community Trial with the Randomized Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design approach. The sample in this study were couples of childbearing age who had one or more high risk criteria (age <20 years, age> 35 years, number of children> 3 and birth distance <2 years) as many as 150 respondents as an intervention group (family planning class model based on predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factor) and 150 respondents as a Control group (Conventional Family Planning Class Model). This intervention was carried out for 6 months. Data collected includes data on knowledge, attitudes, family support, and use of contraception methods. Data were analyzed using Chi-Square test. Result: The family planning class model based on predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors effectively increases knowledge (p=0.000), attitudes (p=0.000), family support (p=0.037), and long-term contraception method use (p=0.000). Conclusion: The family planning class model based on predisposing, enabling and reinforcing factors effectively increases knowledge, attitudes, family support, and the use of long-term contraception methods in high risk fertile age couples
