Family Planning Information, Education and Communication with Contaceptive Use
Abstract: Family Planning
Information, Education, Communication (FP IEC) takes an important role in
improving achievement of prevalence of Family Planning participation. However,
contraceptive use prevalence in Indonesia within the last decade (2002-2012)
did not significantly increase, although many FP IEC activities had been
performed. This study aimed to determine socioeconomic demographic factors
related to FP IEC, any IEC elements related to contraceptive use and IEC
elements affecting on contraceptive use. Analysis used Indonesia Demographic
and Health Survey 2012 as data source with analysis unit namely married women
aged 15-49 years. Samples were 33,465 married women. Analysis used odds ratio
(OR) between women receiving FP IEC toward women not getting access to FP IEC
related to contraceptive use. This study found that FP IEC, both media and
officers were important factors in contraceptive use. IEC through television
and poster/flyer had a significant relation with contraceptive use (OR 1.6 and
1.3). Medical officers, FP officers and informal figures in community played an
important role in FP information and contraceptive use (OR 2.2; 1.4; and 1.2).
In line with results, visits of FP officers and medical officers informing
contraception to clients at healthcare facilities significantly affected on
contraceptive use (OR 1.5 and 2.6).
