Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan dianalisis menggunakan metode Colaizzi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa alasan utama penggunaan KB suntik 3 bulan adalah anjuran tenaga kesehatan dan rasa takut mencoba metode kontrasepsi lain.

Three-month injectable contraception represents a hormonal contraceptive method widely utilized due to its practicality and effectiveness. However, its use can induce various physical and psychological changes among acceptors. This study aimed to explore the experiences of three-month injectable contraceptive acceptors regarding the changes experienced within the working area of Talang Bakung Public Health Center Jambi City. This study utilized a qualitative approach with a phenomenological design. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique, comprising six three-month injectable contraceptive acceptors alongside two healthcare providers, specifically a midwife and a physician, as source triangulation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Colaizzi method. The research results revealed that the primary reason for utilizing three-month injectable contraception was recommendations from healthcare providers and fear of trying other contraceptive methods. The most frequently reported experiences included body weight gain, menstrual cycle disturbances such as amenorrhea, facial spots or hyperpigmentation, as well as psychological changes in the form of mood swings. Despite experiencing side effects, the majority of participants continued utilizing three-month injectable contraception because it was considered practical and effective. This study concludes that the use of three-month injectable contraception induces varying physical and psychological experiences in each acceptor. Therefore, continuous education and counseling from healthcare providers are required so that acceptors can understand and manage the side effects experienced.
