Abstract: The low coverage of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months caused the national target of exclusive
breastfeeding to be 40% unachieved. Whereas exclusive breastfeeding can reduce infant mortality in
Indonesia and it can also be used as natural contraception. This research type was an analytic study with
case control design. The study was conducted from August to December 2018. The population of this study
were all breastfeeding mothers who have babies aged 6-12 month. The study sample amounted 44
breastfeeding mothers, consist of 22 cases and 22 controls whereas the case group was giving exclusive
breastfeeding to baby but they did not experience lactation amenorrhoea and the control group was giving
exclusive breastfeeding to the baby, they experienced lactation amenorrhoea. Primary data collection
methods obtained through direct interviews on research subjects. The research instrument was standardized
questionnaire. Data analysis used univariate analysis, bivariate with chi-square test and multivariate analysis
with multiple simple logistic regression test. The analysis results indicated dominant variable influencing
the usage of LAM as contraceptive for breastfeeding mothers was occupational variable because it has (p =
0.015; OR = 10.962 95% CI 1.529-75.283), it means that breastfeeding mothers who work have 11 times
greater risk who did not use LAM as contraceptive compared to mothers who do not work.
1 INTRODUCTION
Lately, women in Indonesia, especially young
mothers, are actively promoting exclusive
breastfeeding. However, the facts show that
exclusive breastfeeding is still not optimal. Coverage
of exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months is still low
which caused the national target of exclusive
breastfeeding to be 40% was not achieved. The
United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) states
that 30,000 babies’ deaths in Indonesia and 10
million babies’ deaths in the world each year can be
prevented through exclusive breastfeeding. Kamlesh
Tiwari, et al (2018) found that there were no
breastfeeding mothers conceived within the first six
months of giving birth to their babies and it was only
4% of mothers had evidence of pregnancy especially
after 10 months after giving birth.
Some experts conclude that mothers who have
knowledge or get counseling about LAM have more
desire to use LAM as contraceptive, and working
mothers can influence exclusive breastfeeding to
their babies, as well as education and income which
become significant predictor variables with LAM as
contraceptive method (Teklehay manot Huluf
Abraha, et al., 2018; Aparna Sridhar and Jennifer
Salcedo, 2017; Rubeena Zaka, et al., 2018; Edibe

Hadaby, et al., 2018; Amira A. El-Houfey, et al.,
2017; Sevgi Ozsoy, et al., 2017).
The above data illustrates that the problem of
using LAM as contraceptive needs to get good
attention, considering the usage of LAM as a
contraceptive is influenced by exclusive
breastfeeding. In order to get more precise picture, it
is needed an analysis of the breastfeeding conditions
effect with characteristics (knowledge, education,
occupation, parity, and social economy) for
breastfeeding mothers toward LAM usage as
contraception.

2 METHODOLOGY
This research type is an analytic study with case
control design. This research was conducted from
August to December 2018. The research population
were all breastfeeding mothers who have babies
aged 6-12 months at Kasih Ibu Maternity Clinic
Kasih Dusun VII Street Deli Tua Sub-district Deli
Serdang Regency. The sample consisted of 44
breastfeeding mothers that consisting of 22 cases
and 22 controls namely the case group were
breastfeeding mothers who gave exclusive
breastfeeding to their babies but they did not
experience lactational amenorrhoea.
The research sampling technique was purvosive.
Primary data collection methods obtained through
the distribution of questionnaires directly on the
research subject. The research instruments were
standardized questionnaires. Data analysis used
univariate, bivariate analysis with chi-square test and
multivariate analysis with multiple logistic
regression tests. The research roadmap is as follows:
Figure 1: Research Roadmap
Figure 2. Research on the Effect of Breastfeeding
Conditions and Characteristics of Breastfeeding Mothers
on LAM usage as Contraception.
3 RESULTS
Based on the table below, it can be explained that:
a. Conditions for breastfeeding women who used
the lactation amenorrhoea method should pay
attention to breastfeeding, namely breastfeeding
immediately after giving birth, breastfeeding
without schedule, breastfeeding without bottles
or nipples, did not take supplements, and still
gave breastmilk to babies. If one of the criteria
was not met then the condition of breastfeeding
was not good.
0. Good
1. Not Good
The majority of breastfeeding cases were not
good as many as 18 cases (81.8%) and in control
group the majority of breastfeeding conditions
were good as much as 13 (59.1%). Statistical test
results obtained p value = 0.013 means that there
was an influence of the breastfeeding condition
on LAM usage as a contraceptive
forbreastfeeding mothers. From the analysis
results, it also obtained value (OR = 6.5 with
95% CI 1,640-25,759), it means that
breastfeeding condition which was not good has
a risk of 6.5 times greater risk of breastfeeding
mothers did not use LAM as contraception
compared with the breastfeeding conditions was
good.
b. Knowledge
Mother's knowledge questionnaire consisted of 8
questions. The scoring is done based on
provisions, the correct answer is given score of 1
and the wrong answer is given score of 0. So that
the highest total score was 8. The highest
possible score is 8 and the lowest possible score
was 0.
ICHIMAT 2019 - International Conference on Health Informatics and Medical Application Technology
248
0. The level is good if the score obtained>
50% of the total score (5-8)
1. The level is not good if the score is
obtained <50% of the total score (0-4)
The cases majority ofbreastfeeding
mothers’ knowledge were poor (14.6%) and in
the control group the majority of breastfeeding
mothers’ knowledge were 13 (59.1%). Statistical
test results obtained p value = 0.227 meaning that
there was not knowledge effect on LAM usage as
contraception in breastfeeding mothers. From the
analysis results also obtained value (OR = 2.5
with 95% CI 0.750-8.522) means that exposure
(knowledge) is a protective effect or reduces the
risk of LAM usage as contraceptive in
breastfeeding mothers.
c. Education, the highest formal school level ever
taken and completed by respondents which
obtained a graduation mark that is categorized
into 3 groups:
0 = Low (elementary - junior high)
1 = High (High School - College)
In the case of education group, the majority of
breastfeeding low mothers were 16 (72.7%) and
in the control group, the majority of
breastfeeding mothers had high education
(14.6%). Statistical test results obtained p value
= 0.034 meaning that there was an influence of
education on the LAM usage as contraceptive in
breastfeeding mothers. From the analysis it was
also obtained the value (OR = 4.7 with 95% CI
1,299-16,761) meaning that mothers with low
education have 4.7 times greater risk did not use
LAM as contraception compared to mothers
who have higher education.
d. Occupation is an activity carried out by the
mother outside the home with the aim to find
basic necessities of life. The duration of mother
works is known from she leaves home.
Categorized as:
0 = did not work outside the home
1 = workoutside the home
The cases majority of breastfeeding mothers
who worked as many as 17 (77.3%) and in the
control group the majority of breastfeeding
mothers did not work as many as 14 (63.6%).
Statistical test results obtained p value = 0.015
meaning that there wasoccupation effect on the
LAM usage as contraceptive in breastfeeding
mothers. From the analysis also obtained value
(OR = 5.9 with 95% CI 1,586-22,328) meaning
that mothers who work outside the home have
5.9 times greater risk did not useLAM as a
contraceptive compared to mothers who did not
work outside the home.
e. Parity is the children number who have been
born by respondent both born alive and stillborn.
Parity is categorized:
0 = primipara (woman who gave birth to a
child, who is big enough to live in the
outside world).
1 = multipara (women who have given birth to
child more than once).
The parity case group of multiparous majority
breastfeeding mothers as many as 15 (68.2%)
and in the control group parity of breastfeeding
mothers majority were 12 (54.5%). Statistical
test results obtained p value = 0.223 meaning
that there is no effect of parity on LAM usage
as contraceptive for breastfeeding mothers.
From the analysis results also obtained value
(OR = 2.6 with 95% CI 0.753-8.784) means
that exposure (parity) was a protective effect or
reduces the risk of LAM usage as contraceptive
for breastfeeding mothers.
f. Sosoo - economic is the income amount from
basic and additional work which is obtained by
respondents and the head of the family in
average of one month. Classified into two,
namely the value of City Minimum Wage
(CMW) of Tanjungbalai City and below the
CWN value. The criteria for income are as
follows:
0 = Income above CMW > Rp. 1.835.000
1 = Income below the CMW < Rp. 1.835.000
The majority of socio-economic case
groups of breastfeeding mothers were Rp. >
1,835,000 as many as 16 (72, 7%) and majority
of socioeconomic control group of
breastfeeding mothers wereRp. > 1,835,000 as
many as 13 (59.1%). Statistical test results
obtained p value = 0.068 means that there was
not socioeconomic influence on the LAM
usage as breastfeeding mothers’ contraceptive.
From the analysis results also obtained value
(OR = 3.8 with 95% CI 1,086-13,661) means
that mothers who have income Rp. <1,835,000
have 3.8 times greater risk did not useLAM as
contraceptive compared to mothers who have
income Rp> 1,835,000.
The Influence between Breastfeeding Conditions with Breastfeeding Mothers Characteristics toward the Usage of Lactation Amenorrhoea
Method (LAM) as Contraception

Table 1: Effect of breastfeeding conditions with
breastfeeding mothers characteristics on MAL usage as

Multivariate analysis was performed to analyze
the effect of independent variables (conditions of
breastfeeding, knowledge, education, employment,
parity and socioeconomic), with the dependent
variable (Lactation Amenorrhoea Method).
Multivariate analysis used multiple logistic
regression analysis. Before conducting multivariate
analysis, the selection of variables which will
become candidates for the multivariate model is
done first. Variables that become multivariate
candidates are independent variables with p values
<0.25 in bivariate analysis.

Based on the results of multivariate analysis with
multiple logistic regression test shows that in the
modeling analysis, all variables of the conditions of
breastfeeding, education, occupation and
socioeconomic are significant to the use of the
Lactational Amenorrhoea Method as contraceptive
for breastfeeding mothers with a value of p <0.05.
Thus, the most dominant variable influencing the
use of the Lactation Amenorrhoea Method as
contraception in breasfeeding mothers is the
occupational variable (p = 0.015; OR = 10.962 95%
CI 1.529-75.283) meaning that breastfeeding
mothers who work have a 11 times greater risk of
not using the LactationalAmenorrhoea Method as a
contraceptive compared to mothers who do not
work.

This study showed that there was an influence of
breastfeeding conditions toward the LAM usage as
contraceptive for breastfeeding mothers. The
analysis also obtained value (OR = 6.5 with 95% CI
1,640-25,759) meaning that breastfeeding mothers
with not good conditions have 6.5 times greater risk
did not use LAM contraceptive compared to good
conditions. The study results are in line with
Kamlesh Tiwari, et al research (2018) that is
foundthere was not breastfeeding mothers be

The statistical test results obtained p value =
0.387, it was concluded that there was no knowledge
influencetoward the LAM usage as contraceptive for
breastfeeding mothers. The analysis results also
obtained value (OR = 2.5 with 95% CI 0.750-8.522)
means that exposure (knowledge has a protective
effect or reduces the LAM risk as contraception for
breastfeeding mothers. The study results are in line
with Kasmiandriani's study (2014) showed that 113
respondents who had good knowledge (62%),
sufficient knowledge (9.7%) and lack knowledge
(84%). The total respondents with positive attitude
and applied LAM contraception only 19 respondents
(16.8%) and the rest (82.3%) did not applied LAM
contraception.
This study is also in line with Chelsea M.
Cooper, et al research (2018) stated the relationship
perception between breastfeeding, LAM, menstrual
return, and recognition of timely food / mother’s
way to recognize the relationship between
breastfeeding and birth spacing, but there were gaps
in understanding and LAM usage. The mothers
expressed their belief that women are protected from
pregnancy while they are breastfeeding, regardless
of the frequency or breastfeeding duration.
Prolonged breastfeeding (within a few months) is
associated with delayed menstruation. However,
women also discuss that some women return
menstruation even when they are still breastfeeding.
Some women say they have heard that breastfeeding
helps birth spacing, but they don't trust this method
because other women breastfeed and don't see
menstruation but are still pregnant.
Some constraints related to the low application
of exclusive breastfeeding and the low number of
mothers who use the Lactation Amenorrhea Method
(LAM) as contraceptive during breastfeeding
include the lack of confidence in the mother that
breast milk is sufficient for her baby, the mother
back to work after they finished the maternity leave
which causes the use of bottled or formula milk in a
manner early so shift the breastmilk position.
Besides that, the incessant promotion of formula
milk, both through health workers and mass media
also had an effect.
The LAM effectiveness is very high around 98%
if it is used correctly and meets the requirements of
being used during the first 6 months after giving
birth and exclusively breastfeeding (without
providing additional food). The effectiveness of this
method is also very dependent on the frequency and
intensity of breastfeeding.
This study showed there was an effect of
education on the LAM usage as breastfeeding
contraceptive. The analysis also obtained value (OR
= 4.7 with 95% CI 1,299-16,761) meaning that
breastfeeding mothers with low education have 4.7
times greater chance did not useLAM as
contraceptive compared to higher education. It is
strengthened by Nursalam theory(2003), that
education can influence one's behavior in motivating
oneself to actively participate in development. The
different levels of education for mothers in this
study affect the mothers desire to use LAM
contraception.
Occupation is the most dominant variable that
influences the LAM usage because it has (p = 0.015;
OR = 10.962 95% CI 1.529-75.283) meaning that
breastfeeding mothers who work have 11 times
greater risk did not use lactation amenorrhoea
method as contraception compared to mothers who
does not work.
This study is in line with Amira A. El-Houfey, et
al research (2017) stated that there were many
factors that affect exclusive breastfeeding such as,
lack of knowledge, lactation problems, poor families
and social support, social norms, shame, occupation
and child care and health services. Data showed that
61.1% of US mothers who have children under the
age of three years old are employed. It is known that
mothers who are not employed are more than twice
as likely to breastfeed for six months as mothers
who work full time.
The study results are in line with Kasmiandriani
research (2014) showed that 113 respondents who
have good knowledge (62%), sufficient knowledge
(9.7%) and lack of knowledge (84%). All
respondents with positive attitude and applied LAM
contraception, there were only 19 respondents
The Influence between Breastfeeding Conditions with Breastfeeding Mothers Characteristics toward the Usage of Lactation Amenorrhoea
Method (LAM) as Contraception
251
(16.8%) and the rest (82.3%) did not apply LAM
contraception.
According to Lawrence Green's theory cited in
Notoatmodjo (2015), which underlies the emergence
of breastfeeding mothers' behavior in conducting
LAM as contraceptive namely predisposing factors,
which are manifested in knowledge, attitudes,
beliefs, confidence, values, and so on, enabling
factors, which are manifested in physical
environment, the availability or unavailability of
health facilities, and the reinforcing factors
manifested in the attitudes and behavior of health
workers or other officers, who are group reference of
community behavior.
Quynh-NhiThi Le, et al research (2018) states
LAM is based on the frequency of breastfeeding,
including nighttime breastfeeding. Women who
leave their babies and work outside home, difficulty
in maintaining this frequency usually increases their
failure rate.
The study results are in line with the Tesfayi
research (2008) only dividing mothers into two,
namely working mothers and mothers who did not
work. It was found that mothers who did not work
had risk of 0.98 times longer to return menstruation
than mothers who worked.
The study results indicated that there was no
influence of parity toward LAM usage as
breastfeeding mothers’ contraceptive. The analysis
results also obtained value (OR = 2.6 with 95% CI
0.753-8.784) meaning that exposure (parity) is a
protective effect or reduces the risk of using LAM
contraception in breastfeeding mothers. The study
results are in line with Sevgi Ozsoy, et alresearch
(2017) states that one-third of mothers are
primiparous and 66.5% of mothers have
breastfeeding experience. From the study results
38.9% of mothers said that they received knowledge
about the effects of breastfeeding contraception and
68.9% of mothers received this knowledge from
nurse. There were 17% of mothers received this
knowledge reported that breastfeeding was
contraception and 1.8% of mothers reported that it
was sometimes as contraceptive. Around 41.3% of
mothers thought that they would be able to used
breast milk as contraception method.
In this study it was stated that there was no
influence of income toward LAM usage as
contraceptive for breastfeeding mothers. The
analysis results also obtained value (OR = 3.8 with
95% CI 1.086-13.666) means that exposure
(income) is a protective effect or reduces the risk of
LAM usage as contraceptive for breastfeeding
mothers.
This study is in line with Amira A. El-Houfey, et
al research (2017) which states the factors associated
with positive or negative effects on the level of
exclusive breastfeeding: internationally there are
many factors associated with poor people to provide
exclusive breastfeeding and it must be considered
when it is investigated the reasons for lower levels
than recommended and the duration of breastfeeding
were identified at most.
Tespayi study was based on DHS (Demographic
and Health Surveys) data for women with
amenorrhoea in the first 12 months after their birth
in Dominic, it resulted smaller HR of 1.10 (1.03-
1.17 95% CI) held by the rich social economic
status.
The cross tabulation result between mother's
work and income shows that 67.55% of low-income
mothers are housewives (not working), so they will
have more time for their babies. Mothers with low
socioeconomic status tend to have less access to
meet food needs for their babies. So they will
provide breastmilk with more frequencies and longer
durations to meet those needs. Increasing the
frequency and duration of breastfeeding will result a
longer duration of lactational amenorrhoea.
Based on study results, the most dominant
variable influencing the LAM usage as
contraceptive for breastfeeding mothers is the
occupational variable because it has (p = 0.015; OR
= 10.962 95% CI 1.529-75.283) meaning that
breastfeeding mothers who work have 11 times
greater risk do not useLAM as contraceptive
compared to mothers who do not work .
4 DISCUSSION
It can be concluded that the effect of breastfeeding
conditions with the characteristics of breastfeeding
mothers toward the LAM usage as contraception is
as follows:
a. Variables that have been proven to influence the
lactation amenorrhoea method as contraception
in breastfeeding mothers are the conditions of
breastfeeding, education, employment and
socioeconomic.
b. Variables that have not been proven to influence
the lactation amenorrhoea method as
contraception in breastfeeding mothers are
knowledge and parity.
c. Multivariate results indicate that occupation is
the most dominant variable that influences the
LAM usage at Kasih Ibu Maternity Clinik Kasih
Street Hamlet.VII Deli Tua Sub District because

having (p = 0.015; OR = 10.962 95% CI 1.529-
75.283) means that breastfeeding mothers who
work have 11 times greater risk do not use
LAM as contraceptive compared to mothers
who do not work.
