| dc.description.abstract | MOP (Male Operation Method) is one of the male contraceptives by cutting or
tying the vas deferens to avoid the release of sperm during ejaculation to prevent
pregnancy. MOP use in Indonesia is still the lowest compared to other
contraceptives, which is influenced by various factors such as understanding,
culture, facilities and health workers, and others. Based on this, it’s necessary to
conduct research aimed at analyzing the selection of MOP contraception in
Batang Bahal Village. This type of research is a case study research using
qualitative research methods. The key informants in the study were 5 informants
obtained through purposive sampling technique. The results of this study were
informants didn’t have good knowledge and understanding related to MOP
contraception. Most informants attended birth control counseling, but none
discussed MOP contraception. Almost all informants received support from their
wives regarding using MOP contraception. All informants didn't get any
complaints from their wives regarding their sexual relationship. Each informant
had different reasons for using MOP, including: low economic status, a sick wife
who can't use birth control, and having more than 2 children. All informants
didn't experience symptoms from using MOP, but some informants felt insecure
and uncomfortable about not having sperm during sexual intercourse. According
to the results of these interviews, we can conclude that all key informants lack
understanding about MOP. Barriers experienced by informants who want to use
MOP include the lack of MOP counseling in the community, especially for men.
The informants' reasons for the use of MOPs were varied: economy, wife's illness,
number of children. Informants didn't experience any side effects from using
MOP. The suggestion in this study is that health workers should more frequently
and enthusiastically provide socialization and counseling related to male birth
control, especially MOP contraception, so that public understanding of MOP is
improved | en_US |
