salah satu masalah kesehatan yang penting untuk diperhatikan. Dibutuhkan tindakan
nyata untuk pencegahan dan penanggulangan kejadian infeksi menular seksual

Jumlah kasus IMS di lokalisasi batu 24 tertinggi bulan Juni yaitu 94,7% dan terendah
bulan Oktober 57,7% dari total jumlah sampel yang diperiksa setiap bulan sepanjang
tahun 2010. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk memperoleh gambaran perilaku
pencegahan kejadian IMS di lokalisasi batu 24 tahun 2011.
Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan
fenomenologi. Informan penelitian adalah WPS yang berada dilokalisasi batu 24 yang
telah melakukan mobilitas lebih dari tiga kali. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan
cara melakukan wawancara mendalam terhadap informan WPS dan untuk menjaga
validitas data, dilakukan wawancara mendalam terhadap informan kunci yaitu Kepala
Puskesmas, Pemegang Program P2M & PL, Germo, Ketua RW. Selain dilakukan
wawancara mendalam juga dilakukan observasi dan telaah dokumen.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengetahuan informan mengenai kejadian
IMS sangat rendah dan perilaku pencegahan kejadian IMS dengan menggunakan
kondom, namun keputusan penggunaan kondom di tangan pelanggan.
Saran bagi WPS yang berada di lokalisasi agar rutin cek kesehatan diklinik
setiap bulan dan diharapkan penggunaan kondom saat kontak seksual berada di
tangan WPS itu sendiri.
