A MOTHER'S PERCEPTIONS ABOUT THE FAMILY PLANNING (KB) PROGRAM WITH THE USE OF CONTRACEPTION

Abstract

The rapid pace of population expansion is certainly a significant issue for Indonesia. The problem is addressed through ongoing family planning program (KB) treatment aimed at lowering the rate of population increase (BKKBN. 2018). The emergence of negative attitudes toward contraception is one of the contraceptive concerns in society. People are sometimes afraid to use contraception methods due to a variety of rumors in the neighborhood. Objective of the research: To demonstrate that the community is reluctant to adopt contraceptive methods in family planning. To prove the mother's perception of program planning (FP) in the Tanjungsari Subdistrict of the Boyolangu village with the use of contraception.

The study used a proportionate random sample technique and a time cross-sectional approach, both of which are observational analytical study methods. The study, which was carried out between March 11 and April 17, 2024, yielded a sample size of 89 respondents. Statistical test chisquare test was used in the study, and it was discovered that there is a relationship between maternal perception of program planning (FP) and contraceptive usage (p: 0. 01).

The choice of which contraceptive selection tool to employ depends on the respondent's knowledge of how the respondent's usage of contraception will be affected by the response and behavior. Respondents may think that using contraception is quick, convenient, and cost-effective, which may lead them to make that decision.
