CCA interest in using an IUD as an IUD (Contraception Tool in the Womb) in the work area of the Sugihwaras Community Health Center is still low. This is caused by several factors. The purpose of this research is to find out the most dominant factor influencing CCA interest in using an IUD as a contraceptive device in the work area of the Puskesmas Sugihwaras Bojonegoro. The design of this study used an observational method with a cross sectional approach. With a population of all couples of childbearing age who use the IUD as a contraceptive in the work area of the Sugihwaras Health Center, which is 175 people. By using purposive sampling technique obtained a sample size of 122 respondents. The independent variables in this study were acceptor confidence, service quality, environmental culture, and family support. While the dependent variable is CCA interest in using an IUD as a contraceptive. The results showed that the p value for the acceptor confidence variable was 0.017 <0.05 so that the acceptor confidence variable had an influence on the acceptor's interest. P value of service quality 0,000 <0.05 so that service quality variables have an influence on the acceptor's interest. P value of environmental culture 0.035 <0.05 so that environmental culture has an influence on the acceptor's interest. P value of family support 0.001 <0.05 so that family support has an influence on the acceptor's interest. Of all the independent variables that have the strongest signification value is service quality. So the hypothesis is accepted. That means that service quality is the factor that has the most influence on CCA interest in using an IUD as a contraceptive in the work area of the Sugihwaras Community Health Center.

Selection Of

Efforts to reduce population growth are carried out by controlling births through family planning. The contraceptive method recommended by the government is the Long Term Contraception Method (MKJP) because it is more efficient, safe, and effective. Data at the state, provincial, district / city level, as well as data from the Community Health Center, the use of non-MKJP (73.4%) is more desirable than the Long-Term Contraception Method (MKJP) (26.6%). Many factors cause someone to choose to use MKJP based on Green's theory. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors that influence EFA in the selection of the Long-Term Contraception Method (MKJP). This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted in the working area of the Medan Teladan Community Health Center. The population of PUS mothers was 2,897 people, and the sample was obtained 110 people. Data analysis was univariate, bivariate using chi-square and multivariate using multiple logistic regression at the 95% confidence level ( = 0.05). The results showed that the variables that had an effect on the selection of MKJP in the Medan Teladan Community Health Center were knowledge (p = 0.002), family / husband support (p = 0.038), and the role of cadres (p = 0.001). The variables that had no effect were attitude (p = 0.153), accessibility (p = 0.061), and peer support (p = 0.098). The most dominant factor was the role of the cadre variable with a value of Exp (B) / OR = 8.819, which means that respondents who stated that the role of cadres was supportive had the opportunity to choose MKJP by 8.8 times higher than stating that the role of cadres was not supportive. The conclusion of this study is that the selection of MKJP by Fertile Age Couples (PUS) is influenced by knowledge, family / husband support, and the role of cadres. It is recommended that KB cadres increase counseling to husbands and wives about MKJP by offline (face to face, leaflets, brochures, etc.) and online (internet) during the Covid-19 period.
