Description
Background: Contraceptive failure has negative consequences, including
unwanted pregnancies and abortions, which can cause maternal morbidity
and mortality. Contraceptive failure is influenced by individual factors
such as the user and the quality of the contraceptive method/device. One
of the individual factors is the cultural factor which can be seen from the
empowerment of women in improving the quality of health, including the
use of contraception. There is no study which has discussed women’s
empowerment as the determination of contraceptive failure.
Purpose: Therefore, this study aims to analyze the association of women’s
empowerment in contraception failure in Indonesia.
Methods: The data source used is the results of the 2017 IDHS (Indonesia’s
Demographic and Health Survey) with the unit of analysis from the period of
using contraceptives to women who get pregnant while using contraceptives.
The dependent variable is the duration of contraceptive usage. The main
independent variable is women’s empowerment as measured by four
indicators, namely asset ownership in the name of the wife, ability of
decision-making in the household, ability to earn cash by working, and
attending at least junior high school. Data were analyzed using the survival
analysis method.
Results: The results of the analysis show that the four factors of women’s
empowerment have a significant negative association with contraceptive
failure after controlling for socioeconomic, demographic, and environmental
factors.
Conclusion: Variables that are positively associated with contraceptive
failure are participation in household decisions, education, residence
status, and internet usage. Variables that are negatively associated with
contraceptive failure are asset ownership, working status, and number of
children.
