Abstract

One of many efforts to reduce the birth rate through the Family Planning (KB) program is by inviting couples of reproductive age (PUS) to use contraceptives. IUD is one of the most effective and safe long-term contraceptives, but in reality, it is still less attractive to PUS. This study aims to determine the factors that influence the interest of PUS in choosing IUD. This study was a quantitative study with a correlation design using a cross sectional approach. The population in this study is 1,780 PUS with a sample size of 181 selected using accidental sampling technique. Data analysis was univariate and bivariate with chi square test. The results of the correlation test for knowledge showed a P-value of 0.020 (P <0.05), while the results for income showed a P-value of 0.010 (P <0.05), and the results for husband support showed a P-value of 0.015 (P <0.05). It can be concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge, income as well as husband's support and the interest of PUS in choosing IUD. It is recommended that health workers can provide education in the form of health promotion to family planning acceptors related to IUD, in order to increase the coverage of family planning acceptors. In addition, it is hoped that health workers can increase the frequency of providing counseling on the advantages of IUD both personally and in groups to increase information and maternal interest in using IUD.
