Abstract


The Talang Mamak tribe is an indigenous tribe that lives in groups (the extended family) in rural locations. All decisions are made after much deliberation. Traditional birth attendants are still used for childbirth. The objective of the study is to analyze the factors that influence reproductive health-needing behavior among Talang Mamak women of reproductive age. With 160 respondents, data was analyzed using logistic regression. The study discovered that education p = 0.001 with PR=4,738, knowledge p = 0.001 with PR=13,800, attitude p= 0.001 with PR=3,133, and tradition p= 0.001 with PR=226.66 are variables that influence the behavior of women of reproductive age toward needing reproductive health services. Among the five variables influencing the outcome, one stands out: tradition, which has an Exp(ß) value of 192.422. The multivariate results show that three variables are included in the modeling: tradition p = 0.001, knowledge p = 0.001, and education p = 0.001. Good traditions, good knowledge, and higher education in the Talang Mamak tribe have a more behavioral probability of needing reproductive health services in women of reproductive age 99%, while another 1% probability by other variables is not examined in this study.
