Data from the Bengkulu City Health Office in the working area of Sawah Lebar Health Center, Bengkulu City, from January to September 2025 reached 4,462 couples of reproductive age (Bengkulu City Health Office, 2025). The aim of the study is to determine the Relationship Between Mothers' Level of Knowledge and Attitude with the Use of Intra Uterine Device (IUD) in the Working Area of Sawah Lebar Health Center, Bengkulu City, 2025. The method used in this study is a quantitative method with a Cross-Sectional design. Sampling technique was purposive sampling. The study sample was all couples of reproductive ages (PUS) in the working area of Sawah Lebar Health Center, Bengkulu City, 2025 with a total of 98 respondents calculated using Slovin's formula. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test with a 95% significance level using SPSS 22 software. Univariate analysis results showed that out of 98 respondents, the majority had a good level of knowledge (54.1%), however the majority of respondents had an unsupportive attitude toward IUD use (55.1%) and the majority did not use an Intra Uterine Device (IUD) (65.3%). Bivariate analysis showed a significant relationship between level of knowledge and IUD use (p = 0.017), as well as a significant relationship between attitude and IUD use (p = 0.014) in the Working Area of Sawah Lebar Health Center, Bengkulu City, 2025. It is hoped that the health center can increase efforts in family planning education and counseling, especially regarding the use of Intra Uterine Device (IUD).]]>
