Abstract

The arge population growth without being accompanied by good quality human resources complicates efforts to increase and distribute people's welfare. Controlling the rate of population growth is pursued through the family planning program, which is expected to involve the participation of all parties in realizing the success of family planning in Indonesia

A person's actions are influenced by multiple factors, including the use of contraceptives. These factors include predisposing factors (knowledge, attitudes and other elements that exist in the individual), supporting factors, namely the availability of health facilities and reinforcing factors such as family support. The knowledge referred to above is the mother's knowledge about the use of contraception, especially its benefits in preventing pregnancy

Good understanding of knowledge is expected to emerge attitudes in the form of awareness and intention to use safe and quality contraceptives (Notoatmojo, 2007). This is in accordance with research conducted by Gertler and Molyneaux (2003) cited by Syafitri (2010), more than 50% of family planning users who have good knowledge and not much different from research conducted by Sindhung (1999), as many as 60% of mothers have good knowledge of KB. So if the knowledge is good then the family planning program will be successful.

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of mother's perception of the use of IUD contraceptives in the Work Area of Puskesmas 1 South Denpasar.

This is in accordance with Setiadi's 2008 theory in Nurhayati's 2016 research, the role of health workers is an activity that is expected from a health worker who provides health services to the community to improve community health status optimally.
