Every nation, including Indonesia, has a problem with population growth. A high birth rate is the consequence of an expanding population, which causes childhood malnutrition. Family planning is an attempt to regulate the quantity and spacing of children. The AKDR is the recommended method of contraception. Indonesia's AKDR coverage is still inadequate. Because the husband is the head of the household, his support is crucial since he has the power to decide whether or not to use contraception. At the Ibu Community Health Center, this research aims to explore the connection between husband support and a lack of interest in using IUD contraception among couples of reproductive age. With 25 individuals in the study group, a cross-sectional research design with total sampling methodologies was employed. A survey was used as the research method, and the data was subjected to Chi-Square analysis with SPSS. The chi-square statistical test produced a P-value (asymp. Sig 2-tailed) of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that there is a correlation between husband support and a low desire among couples of reproductive age to utilize IUD contraception. Consequently, since H0 was disproved and H1 was proven, it can be inferred that there is a link between husband support and couples of childbearing age having a low interest in using IUD contraception.

Family planning represents a community-based effort to promote awareness and participation through delaying the age of marriage, regulating births, strengthening family resilience, and improving family welfare to achieve small, joyful, and prosperous families (Suriana et al., 2021). The government targets Couples of Reproductive Age (CRA) to reduce population growth in Indonesia, as CRA consists of legally married couples who actively engage in sexual relations that may result in pregnancy. In addition to CRA, postpartum mothers also serve as a key target group in family planning programs. The “Four Too” components contribute to high-risk pregnancies that may lead to complications during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, and maternal and infant mortality. These include being too young (under 20 years), too old (over 35 years), too many children (more than four), and too close birth spacing (less than two years) (Oktarina, 2022). This study employed a quantitative research design, specifically an analytical quantitative approach with a correlational design using the cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 40 participants. The results show that 45% of respondents had a satisfactory level of knowledge about IUD contraception, 32.5% had a moderate level, and 22.5% had a low level of knowledge. In nursing practice, increasing knowledge about contraception—particularly IUD family planning—can enhance interest in its use. Moreover, the study recommends that husbands provide support for mothers in using IUD contraception.

Background: Family planning is a critical public health strategy to control population growth and improve maternal and child health. Among the available contraceptive methods, the Intrauterine Device (IUD) is highly effective and long-term, yet its uptake remains low in many communities. Midwives play a pivotal role in promoting IUD adoption through counselling, education, and community engagement, but their effectiveness in specific local contexts requires further investigation. Objective: This study aimed to examine the role of midwives in increasing women’s participation in IUD family planning at the Bone Pantai Community Health Center. Methods: A quantitative descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted. The population included women of reproductive age (15–49 years) eligible for IUD contraception and midwives providing family planning services. A purposive sampling technique was used to select participants. Data were collected through structured questionnaires, interviews, and observation checklists. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software, with descriptive statistics to summarize participant characteristics and inferential tests, including the Chi-square test, to examine relationships between midwife interventions and IUD uptake.

Mrs. I  chose to use an IUD as a contraceptive.

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children under five years old caused by inadequate nutritional intake and recurrent infections, especially in the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Exclusive breastfeeding and maternal nutritional knowledge are key factors that influence the incidence of stunting. Indonesia faces a high prevalence of stunting, which can impact the quality of human resources in the future if not addressed immediately. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal nutritional knowledge and the duration of exclusive breastfeeding with the incidence of stunting in infants aged 6–12 months in the working area of ​​Kuala Bangka Health Center, Kualuh Hilir District, North Labuhan Batu Regency in 2021. Method: This study used a case-control design with a sample of 110 respondents (55 cases and 55 controls) selected by purposive sampling. Data were collected through interviews using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed a significant association between the duration of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.002; OR = 4.394; 95% CI = 1.709–11.295), where infants who were not exclusively breastfed had a 4.4 times greater risk of experiencing stunting than infants who received optimal exclusive breastfeeding. However, there was no significant association between maternal nutritional knowledge and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.233). Conclusion: The duration of exclusive breastfeeding was proven to be associated with the incidence of stunting, while maternal knowledge did not show a significant association. Stunting prevention efforts should focus on improving the practice of appropriate and comprehensive exclusive breastfeeding, accompanied by practice-based nutrition education that mothers can apply in childcare.

Anomalous positioning is an abnormal position of the fetal vertex (with the small fontanelle as a marker) relative to the maternal pelvis. Oblique malposition is a cause of maternal mortality rate (MMR) of 3-10%. Obesity in pregnancy is a condition characterized by an imbalance between body weight and height. According to WHO data, the prevalence of obesity in 2021 was 340 million, with data in Central Java province reaching 6.62%. In Brebes Regency, the figure was 20.51% (2019). In the Bumiayu Community Health Center, data on obesity in pregnant women reached 63 in 2022. This study aims to provide comprehensive midwifery care for pregnant women, childbirth, postpartum, newborns, and family planning for Mrs. N, 23, with malposition and obesity. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with a comprehensive case study approach. Based on the comprehensive midwifery care provided to Mrs. N, 23, with malposition and obesity, the pregnancy outcome was found to be grade I. Her gestational age was not commensurate with her gestational age. Delivery was performed by vaginal delivery. No problems were found during newborn care up to 28 days. No problems were found during the postpartum period. Mrs. N chose intrauterine contraception (IUD) during pregnancy, but her husband did not allow it due to religious reasons. Appropriate midwifery care during pregnancy, childbirth, newborn care, postpartum care, and family planning is crucial for the health of both mother and baby. This allows early detection of risk factors, preventing potential complications, and reducing maternal and infant mortality.

Rapid population growth is a major challenge in Indonesia, despite the ongoing implementation of the Family Planning (KB) program. Among the various contraceptive methods introduced, the Intrauterine Device (IUD) has proven to be an effective long-term solution. However, maternal interest in using the IUD remains relatively low, posing a challenge to achieving optimal family planning outcomes. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing maternal interest in choosing IUDs at Biontong Health Center. The study employed an observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 35 respondents were selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire that assessed various factors influencing IUD use, including knowledge, gravida status, and previous family planning experience. The results revealed that 57.1% of respondents were not interested in using IUDs, while 42.9% expressed interest. Several significant factors were found to influence maternal interest, particularly the level of knowledge and gravida status. Specifically, respondents with better knowledge about IUDs were more likely to be interested in using them, with 63.6% of those with good knowledge expressing interest, compared to 30.0% with sufficient knowledge and only 35.7% with poor knowledge. Additionally, gravida status also played a significant role, with those who had previous pregnancies showing more interest in IUD use. In conclusion, maternal knowledge and pregnancy experience are key factors influencing interest in IUD use. To increase the adoption of IUDs as a long-term contraceptive option, it is essential to improve education and counseling efforts aimed at increasing public understanding of the benefits and safety of IUDs.

Population policy in Indonesia represents a key government effort to regulate and control population growth. One of the most significant strategies in managing population growth is Family Planning, which helps reduce the rate of fertility and support healthier families. Among the various contraceptive methods, the IUD (Intrauterine Device) is a non-hormonal option that is commonly used by Fertile Age Couples (FACs). The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between the level of knowledge and the interest in the IUD contraceptive method among couples in the Puskesmas Pugaan area. This research employed an analytical approach using a cross-sectional design. The population for this study included all fertile couples in the Pugaan Health Center area. A purposive sampling technique was applied, selecting a sample of 20 participants. Data were collected through questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using the chi-square test with the SPSS version 25 software. The study found that 12 participants (60%) had good knowledge of IUDs, 5 participants (25%) had sufficient knowledge, and 3 participants (15%) had poor knowledge. Regarding interest in using IUDs, 16 participants (80%) expressed an interest, while 4 participants (20%) were not interested in using the IUD. The chi-square statistical test yielded a P value of 0.000 (P < 0.05), indicating a statistically significant relationship between knowledge level and interest in the IUD contraceptive method. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that there is a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the interest in using IUD contraception at Puskesmas Pugaan. These findings suggest that improving the knowledge of couples about contraceptive methods like the IUD may play a crucial role in increasing interest and usage rates, contributing to more effective population control efforts

Background: The government's efforts to reduce birth rates are implemented through the Family Planning program, focusing on the use of long-term contraceptive methods. One prominent method is the Intrauterine Device (IUD), known for its high effectiveness, safety, and reversibility for women. Support from husbands plays a crucial role in the selection and use of contraceptive methods, encompassing emotional, informational, instrumental support, and appreciation. This study aims to uncover the relationship between husband support and mothers' participation in the selection of IUDs in the UPTD Puskesmas Dawan II area. Method: Using a correlational analysis method with a cross-sectional approach, this research involved 45 prospective family planning acceptors selected through purposive sampling, conducted from September to November 2024.  Result: Data were analyzed using the Chi Square test, revealing that 44.44% of husbands provided support, while 62.22% of mothers chose IUDs. The bivariate analysis showed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a significant relationship between husband support and mothers' participation in the selection of IUDs. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that in the UPTD Puskesmas Dawan II area, there were 20 respondents who provided support from their husbands in choosing an Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUD), 28 respondents who participated in choosing the contraceptive method, and there was a relationship between husband's support and mother's participation in choosing an IUD.

Contraception is used to control population growth and ensure the availability of natural resources, thereby maintaining the quality of human life. Contraceptive methods can be categorized into two types: long-term contraceptive methods (LTCMs), such as intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, female sterilization (tubal ligation or MOW), and male sterilization (vasectomy or MOP); and short-term contraceptive methods (non-LTCMs), such as condoms, injections, and oral contraceptive pills. The aim of this study is to examine and explain the relationship between spousal support and the role of healthcare workers in the selection of long-term contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age in the working area of the Kefa Utara Village Maternity Post, North Central Timor Regency. This research is quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The sampling technique used accidental sampling with a total of 106 WUS respondents. Data analysis using Chi Square test analysis. The results showed that women of reproductive age who did not get husband's support were higher (57.50%) than those who got husband's support (42.50%). Chi-Square test showed a significant relationship between husband's support and the selection of LTCMS (p < 0.05) with an Odds Ratio (OR) value of 2.690. In addition, health workers who played a role in the selection of LTCMS were greater (67.90%) than health workers who did not play a role (32.10%). The Chi Square test results also showed a significant relationship between the role of health workers and the selection of LTCMS (p < 0.05) with an 0R value of 3.733.

Postpartum complications in the form of bleeding can be anticipated through breastfeeding as early as possible. Early breastfeeding affects the speed of uterine recovery as before. To be able to provide early breastfeeding, counseling about breastfeeding on demand is needed for pregnant women so that their knowledge increases and can be applied after giving birth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of counseling about breastfeeding on demand on uterine involution in post-placental IUD acceptors at Bantul 2 Health Center. This study used a quasi-experimental study with a static group comparison research design. The study population was 51 post-placental IUD acceptors at Bantul 2 Health Center. Purposive sampling is a sampling technique used with data analysis of ANOVA and ANCVA tests. The average TFU of the intervention group was higher than the control group, which was 8.39 compared to 7.92. The results of the ANOVA test obtained a p-value of 0.002 <0.05, so it was concluded that there was an effect of counseling about breastfeeding on demand on uterine involution in post-placental IUD acceptors. For post-placental IUD acceptors, breastfeed on demand to regulate the spacing of births while improving the health of mothers and babies.

Family Planning (KB) is an effort to help individuals or married couples plan the number and spacing of births as desired, and avoid unwanted pregnancies. This program also aims to regulate the time of birth based on the age of the couple and family conditions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the level of knowledge of Women of Childbearing Age (WUS) and the use of IUD contraception at the Pagar Merbau Health Center, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency in 2023. The type of research is Descriptive Correlation with a cross-sectional design, the research sample was 45 people, the sampling technique used the Total Sampling method. the results of the study showed that Based on statistical analysis using the chi-square test, a significant relationship was found between the level of knowledge of WUS and the use of IUD contraception at the Pagar Merbau Health Center, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency in 2023, with a p-value of 0.006 (p-value <0.05). The more knowledge a person has about something, the higher the level of knowledge of that person. One of the factors that influences health behavior is the predisposition factor which is manifested in knowledge, where a person's knowledge greatly influences the actions that will be carried out.

The Family Planning Program (KB) is one of the government's efforts to control population growth and to build quality families. Long-term contraceptive methods, including intrauterine devices (IUDs), are part of the government program, but their usage remains low. One of the reasons is the lack of support and knowledge from husbands. Husband’s support is a crucial form of motivation for wives in using contraceptives. The more knowledge and information the husband has, the more support he can provide to his wife in using IUD contraception. This study aims to determine the relationship between husband’s support and knowledge with the low usage of IUD contraception at PMB Linda Elisabet in Kemiri Muka Subdistrict, Depok City, West Java, in 2024. This research is an analytic survey with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study is the husbands of women who use contraceptives, and the sample consists of 10 individuals selected through non-probability sampling or total sampling. Data were analyzed using the Chi-square test (α=0.05). The results show that the majority of wives do not use IUDs (76.5%), while only 23.5% do. The statistical chi-square test showed a significant relationship between husband’s support and knowledge with the low usage of IUD contraception at PMB Linda Elisabet in Kemiri Muka Subdistrict, Depok City, West Java, with a p-value of 0.003 (P<0.05). In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between husband’s support and knowledge and the low usage of IUD contraception at PMB Linda Elisabet in Kemiri Muka Subdistrict, Depok City, West Java, in 2024. The more knowledgeable the husband, the greater his support for his wife in using IUD contraception. Health workers should regularly provide counseling on the importance of IUD contraception, and husbands are expected to increase their knowledge. With greater knowledge of IUD contraception, husbands can provide more support to motivate their wives to use it.

Background: Uncontrolled population growth will have many negative impacts. The central government and regional governments have made efforts to reduce the large population growth rate. The government's efforts include socializing two children through the Family Planning program. Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a contraceptive device that is good for women. This tool is very effective and does not need to be remembered every day like birth control pills and birth control injections every month or every three months. For mothers who breastfeed, the IUD does not affect breast milk, the flow or level of breast milk (ASI). Meanwhile, an implant is a type of contraception in the form of an implant made from a type of silastic rubber containing hormones, installed in the upper arm. The implant can be used for a long term of 5 years and is reversible. The advantages of contraception are high effectiveness, implant failure rate, 1 per 100 women per year in the first 5 years, low user failure, once installed there is no need to remember anything. The implant contains levonorgestrel which is a progesterone hormone (Hasliana, 2020). The aim of this community service program (PKM) is to increase the use of implant contraception and IUD contraception at the Pratama Elvi Diana Clinic in 2024. The method used is that counseling on targets is carried out orally. The results are based on the results of the service implementation. Participants in this activity were PUS who visited the Pratama Elvi Diana Clinic totaling 42 people.

According to data collected from Midwifery Clinician Tri Utami Sari S.SiT Manyaran Semarang in 2022, injectable contraceptive users ranked first when compared to those using pills, condoms, IUDs, and implants. However, the use of 1-month injections is more common than 3-month injections. One of the factors is that the Fertile Spouse knowledge about 3 months of injectable contraception is still low, and the lack of support of the husband. This matter means that the use of 3 months of injective contraception is still small, approximately 300 of the 1240 participants. This cross-sectional study determined the correlation between a mother's knowledge and the use of a one-month injectable contraception. The study's population included a woman of fertile age who received a 1-month injectable contraception at the Midwifery Clinician Tri Utami Sari, S.SiT Manyaran. The researcher used a purposive sampling technique to gather a sample of 50 respondents. The Spearman rank correlation test found a p-value of less than 0.029, indicating no correlation between mother knowledge and one-month injectable contraception at Midwifery Clinician Tri Utami Sari S.SiT Semarang in the year 2023.    

The Long-Term Contraceptive Method (MKJP) is a contraceptive that can be used for a long period of time, more than two years, effectively and efficiently for the purpose of spacing births for more than three years or terminating pregnancies in PUS who no longer want to have more children. Family planning devices/drugs/methods that include MKJP are IUD/IUD, Implant, MOP and MOW. In Aceh Province, especially Aceh Singkil, the number of couples of childbearing age (PUS) is 17,625 pairs. The most widely used contraceptive method is PIL contraception, while 216 (1.2%) use MKJP IUD contraception and 481 (2.7%) use implant contraception. The aim of this research is to analyze the socio-cultural relationship and knowledge towards mothers' interest in using long-acting contraceptives (MKJP) in the Singkil Community Health Center UPTD Work Area in 2024. This research is quantitative with a cross-sectional research design conducted in the Singkil Community Health Center UPTD Work Area. . The population in this study was 46 women of childbearing age. The sampling technique used is Total Sampling. The instrument used was a questionnaire and bivariate analysis using the Chi Square test. In conclusion, the p-value was obtained: 0.00<0.05, which means there is a socio-cultural and knowledge relationship with mothers' interest in using long-term contraceptive devices (MKJP) in the Singkil Community Health Center UPTD Work Area in 2024.    

Intrauterine device is one of the long-acting contraceptives made of plastic wrapped in copper that is inserted into the uterus through the vagina to prevent pregnancy. IUD is one of the contraceptives that has high effectiveness. IUD has side effects, namely menstrual disorders, spotting, spulsion, vaginal discharge. to determine the relationship between the use of IUD contraceptives with menstrual disorders. type of research correlative with cross sectional design. This research was conducted at PKU 'Aisyiyah Boyolali Hospital in December 2023. The subjects of this study were 58 IUD birth control acceptors at PKU 'Aisyiyah Boyolali Hospital during April – November. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. The measuring instrument uses medical records and questionnaires. The data analysis method uses the chi-square test.  the majority aged 31-40 years are 73.1%, have a high school education of 43.6%, the majority use a Nova-T IUD of 58.9% and have menstrual disorders as much as 57.1%. The results of the chi-suare  test obtained results of nilia p-value 0.000 <0.05, then Ha is accepted so that there is a relationship between the use of contraceptives and menstrual disorders. There is a relationship between the use of intrauterine devices and menstrual disorders at PKU 'Aisyiyah Boyolali Hospital
