Effectiveness of educational methods of lectures and lectures with leaflet regarding husband's knowledge about postpartum care at Naval Central hospital dr. Ramelan Surabaya

Abstract

Introduction: The postpartum period is critical in the survival of the mother and newborn. Most maternal and newborn deaths occur within the first month after delivery. Mothers and newborns need health care during this period to avoid the risk of illness and death. The importance of the husband's contribution to postpartum care is greatly influenced by the husband's knowledge about postpartum care. Objective: This research aims to determine the effectiveness of providing education through lecture and lecture methods with leaflets to increase husbands' knowledge about postpartum care. Method: This research is a type of quasi-experimental research. The research design uses a pre-posttest one-group design with questions about the husband's knowledge about the time of delivery. Sampling techniques are consecutive sampling, with 15 people in the lecture group and 15 people in the lecture group with leaflets. Data is collected using questionnaires. Statistical tests are used using the Wilcoxon signed test and Mann Whitney test. Result: A significant majority (65.7%) of the sampled toddlers were diagnosed. The research results showed that the average knowledge of respondents about postpartum care before being given health education using leaflet lectures was 61.4, and after being given health education was 74.2. Meanwhile, the results of the lecture method with leaflets showed that the average knowledge of respondents about early marriage before being given education was 61.2, and after education, using the lecture method with leaflets increased to 78.6. By testing Mann Whitney, the significance obtained was 0.023<0.05, so it can be concluded that there is a significant difference between the lecture method and lecture method with leaflet. Conclusion: Lecture education using leaflets is more effective than the lecture method in increasing husbands' knowledge about postpartum care at Naval Central Hospital dr. Ramelan Surabaya.
