Abstract:
Improving the understanding and changing the perception of women of reproductive age regarding the use of IUDs is decisive for improving reproductive health. Through educational efforts carried out through various information channels, as well as support from medical personnel, it is hoped that it can change views and increase WUS's involvement in using safe and effective contraceptive methods, such as IUDs. To evaluate the level of knowledge and perception possessed by women of gestational age for the use of IUDs as a method of pregnancy prevention in family planning programs. The research design used scoping review based on the Arksey and O'Malley framework. Of the 6,991 articles found, 15 articles met the inclusion criteria for the analysis starting with a literature search in three databases: google schoolar, pubmed and scient direct. The inclusion requirements include the paper being published between 2020-2024, addressing the knowledge of women of childbearing age about IUDs, as well as the relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards IUDs. The data is analyzed interpretively to find the main themes and patterns of the synthesized articles. Women's understanding of IUDs of childbearing age was influenced by education, health counseling, and husband support. Myths and misconceptions about IUDs are the main obstacles to the acceptance of this method. In addition, positive experiences of women with IUDs show that good knowledge can increase positive attitudes towards the use of these contraceptives. Increased knowledge and positive attitudes towards IUDs among women of childbearing age are essential for the success of family planning programs. Effective education and social support from your partner can increase the acceptance of IUDs as a method of contraception. Therefore, a more intensive counseling strategy is needed to address myths and misconceptions and increase access to information about the benefits of IUDs.
