Abstract

Indonesia is one of the developing countries in the world with various types of problems faced, one of which is in the population sector, namely the high population growth. The family planning program has a strategic position in efforts to reduce the rate of population growth. Family planning participants are more dominated by women. Even though family planning is not only intended for women. Men also have an obligation to participate in the success of this program, so this study aims to determine the relationship between attitudes about male contraceptives and husband participation. This study used an analytical research method with a cross sectional approach, with a population of 1,022 people, and a sample size of 88 people. The analysis was performed using the chi-square statistical test. The results showed a relationship between attitudes about male contraception and the participation of husbands in using contraceptives in Kebonbaru Village, Cirebon City with a p value of 0.001 which is smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. It is hoped that men of childbearing age can increase their knowledge through direct information from health workers or social media so that they can increase knowledge about contraceptives so that their husbands can participate in the use of contraceptives.
