ABSTRACT 53.2% of active family planning participants and new family planning acceptors in the Ende district prefer to use hormonal contraceptives while the choice of other contraceptives is below 20%. The most widely used injectable contraceptives are implants and pills. There were 32 acceptors who experienced side effects of weight gain and hypertension (11.03%), and the most acceptors were in the Tanjung auxiliary health center. Research in Kumasi sub-district, Ghana, India, because some acceptors experienced long and heavy menstruation, spotting, no menstruation, and vaginal discharge so they were afraid of modern contraceptive methods (Kimberly Daniels, 2015). The aim of this community service is to empower acceptors and health cadres to recognize the side effects of using hormonal contraceptives, where the targets are cadres and acceptors. The methods used are screening, lectures, discussions, simulations, and practicum by the target audience. The results of community service show that all acceptors have good knowledge (83.33%) at pretest while posttest (100%), but they do not know about the length of time using hormonal contraceptives both by injection, implant, and pill. The skill achieved is that all 28 cadres and acceptors (100%) can measure height, weight body weight, and measure blood pressure. It is hoped that intensive observation from the midwife of Pustu Tanjung and the family planning cadres can help to monitor the side effects of hormonal contraception. Keywords: Empowerment of acceptors and cadres, side effects of hormonal contraception.]]>
