Abstract

One strategy in implementing family planning programs is to increase the use of long-acting contraceptives, considered the most effective way to control population growth. The Intra Uterine Device (IUD) is an effective contraceptive method for preventing or delaying pregnancy. Despite the government's target coverage for all contraceptive methods in Batam City, only 4% use IUD, falling short of the 15.9% target. This study aims to explore the relationship between husband support, sociocultural factors, and the low utilization of IUD contraception. The research employed an analytical observational method with a cross-sectional approach, involving 70 respondents, representing the entire fertile-age couples population. Chi-square test results indicated a significant relationship between independent variables—husband support (p-value = 0.001) and sociocultural factors (p-value = 0.002)—and the use of IUD contraception among fertile-age couples. In conclusion, husband support and sociocultural factors influence the utilization of IUD contraception. Recommendations include encouraging fertile-age couples to enhance their knowledge of family planning, particularly focusing on effective methods, to raise awareness of the importance of contraception. This, in turn, can motivate individuals to manage and plan for an ideal number of children, ensuring their well-being and quality of life.
