Abstract

Narrow pregnancy intervals are known to increase the risk of maternal and neonatal mortality. At intervals of less than 6 months, siblings less than 2 years old are at 60% risk of death. Increased use of family planning can reduce maternal mortality by 40%. The achievement of postpartum family planning in Kulon Progo Regency was 13.83%. Postpartum contraception in Indonesia is defined as the immediate use of contraceptives up to 6 weeks (42 days) after delivery. This study’s purpose is to examine the socio-demographic factors associated with postpartum contraceptives used. We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study from August to September 2022. A total of 207 women in the first year after giving birth in Kulon Progo, Yogyakarta, Indonesia enrolled in the study. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. Chi-square Test is used to analyze data. The prevalence of postpartum family planning use was 38.6%. The results of the analysis chi-square obtained variable age p-value 0.022 < 0.05 education level with a p-value of 0.003 < 0.05, employment status with p-valof ue 0.018 < 0.05, family income with p-value 0. 487 > 0.05. Parity with p-value 0.400 > 0.05, number of children with p-value 0.226 > 0.05, and social norms with p-value 0.090 > 0.05. It can be concluded that age, level of education, and employment status are related to the use of post-partum family planning.
