<![CDATA[One of the available family planning (FP) services is postpartum family planning (PPFP). Among the recommended methods by the government for PPFP is the insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD). The use of IUDs may be influenced by factors such as parity, education level, and delivery method. This study aims to analyze the effect of age, parity, educational level, and delivery method on postpartum IUD usage. The research employed a correlational analytic design with a cross sectional approach. The study was conducted in April 2025 at Cilacap Regional Public Hospital (RSUD Cilacap). The sample consisted of 85 postpartum mothers who delivered at RSUD Cilacap between January and April 2025. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analyses, including the Spearman rank test and contingency coefficient. The results showed that educational level (p = 0.001) and delivery method (p = 0.025) significantly affected postpartum IUD usage.However, age (p = 0.863) and parity (p = 0.705) were not found to influence postpartum IUD usage significantly. These findings may serve as a reference to enhance the coverage of postpartum family planning, particularly the use of postpartum IUDs.]]>
