This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method which was carried out in March-May 2019 at the Bungus Health Center, Bungus BKKBN Representative Office, and the Bungus Health Center working area with samples taken using the principles of appropriateness and adequacy, namely the Head of the MCH/KB Responsible Division, PLKB, two midwifes, and five women of childbearing age.
