Abstract

BACKGROUND: The population of growth rate in Indonesia is still high, including South Sumatra. The use of modern contraceptives tends to stagnate at the moment.

AIM: This study aims to analyze the determinant of long-term contraceptive method use among married women of reproductive age in South Sumatra.

METHODS: This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. We used secondary data, Indonesia Health and Demographics Survey 2017. The unit of analysis in this study is reproductive age women (15–49 years) in South Sumatra who successfully became respondents to the 2017 IDHS and married status. The number of respondents was 686. We analyzed the predictor of long-term contraceptive method use using logistic regression.

RESULTS: The proportion of users of long-term contraceptive method was 18.2%. Factors related to the use of these contraceptives include received visits from health workers, number of living children, and mother’s employment (p < 0.05). Respondent who received visits from health workers within the last 6 months was 2.7 times more likely to use long-term contraceptive method than respondent who did not receive a health worker visit.

CONCLUSION: Married women who get visits by health workers are more likely to use long-term contraceptive methods. This study result could be used as a reference for making policies that focus on increasing visit by health workers to married women and give counseling the benefit of long-term contraceptive method use.
