Abstract

Postpartum participation in the Family Planning (FP) program is strongly influenced by various factors, one of which is husband’s support. Spousal support can significantly increase a woman's motivation to use contraceptives in order to maintain maternal and child health and to space pregnancies appropriately. This study aimed to determine the relationship between husband’s support and postpartum family planning participation at UPT Puskesmas Padang, Lumajang Regency. This research employed a quantitative method with a descriptive-correlational design and a cross-sectional approach. Data collection was conducted using a questionnaire, with as the population all of postpartum mothers at the health center. A total of 32 respondents were selected using total sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed that the majority of respondents received supportive responses from their husbands (23 respondents or 71.9%), and most participated in postpartum family planning (24 respondents or 75%). The Chi-Square test yielded a significance value of 0.003 (p < 0.05), indicating a relationship between husband’s support and postpartum FP participation. Puskesmas Padang is advised to hold routine counseling activities on postpartum family planning to increase husbands' support and participation in postpartum family planning
