Introduction

Gambaran pasangan usia subur sebagai peserta keluarga berencana aktif dengan metode kontrasepsi mantap di jawa timur 2022. Telusuri gambaran penggunaan kontrasepsi mantap oleh pasangan usia subur di Jawa Timur tahun 2022. Hasil studi tunjukkan cakupan rendah dan pentingnya konseling KB intensif.

Abstract

Latar belakang: Laju pertumbuhan penduduk di Indonesia menjadi isu yang penting dalam bidang kependudukan. Pertumbuhan penduduk yang cepat dan tidak merata akan memberikan banyak tekanan berat pada berbagai sektor seperti penyediaan pangan, lapangan kerja, pendidikan, dan lain sebagainya. Pemerintah menerapkan program Keluarga Berencana Nasional dengan tujuan mengurangi laju pertumbuhan penduduk Indonesia terutama kontrasepsi mantap bagi pasangan usia subur. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran umum dari pasangan usia subur dalam menggunakan metode kontrasepsi Mantap di Provinsi Jawa Timur tahun 2022. Metode: Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yakni metode deskriptif menggunakan data sekunder dari Badan Pusat Statistik. Data sekunder yang digunakan adalah jumlah pasangan usia subur dan peserta KB aktif menurut Kabupaten/Kota di Provinsi Jawa Timur tahun 2022. Hasil: Cakupan penggunaan metode kontrasepsi mantap di Provinsi Jawa Timur tahun 2022 tergolong rendah. Persentase pengguna metode operasi wanita sebesar 4,62 % dan pengguna metode operasi pria hanya sebesar 0,2%. Kesimpulan: Diharapkan pemerintah dapat memberikan layanan konseling intensif di wilayah bagi pasangan usia subur terkait penggunaan kontrasepsi baik pada pria maupun wanita khususnya pada penggunaan kontrasepsi mantap.

Review

The study titled "Gambaran Pasangan Usia Subur sebagai Peserta Keluarga Berencana Aktif dengan Metode Kontrasepsi Mantap di Jawa Timur 2022" addresses a highly relevant issue concerning population growth and family planning in Indonesia. The authors effectively highlight the national imperative to control population growth through the National Family Planning Program, specifically focusing on permanent contraception (kontrasepsi mantap) for fertile age couples. Using a descriptive method and secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the study provides a valuable snapshot of the current state of permanent contraception use in East Java in 2022. The key finding, revealing very low coverage rates for female surgical methods (4.62%) and extremely low rates for male surgical methods (0.2%), clearly underscores a significant challenge in achieving family planning goals in the region. While the study successfully presents a general overview of permanent contraception uptake, its descriptive nature and exclusive reliance on secondary data limit its ability to delve into the underlying causes and influencing factors behind these low rates. The abstract outlines the "what" (low coverage) but does not explore the "why." A deeper analysis, perhaps incorporating primary data collection, could have shed light on the barriers to adoption, such as lack of awareness, cultural perceptions, religious beliefs, fear of procedures, spousal communication issues, or accessibility of services. Without understanding these crucial determinants, the proposed solution of "intensive counseling", while intuitively sound, lacks direct empirical support from the study itself. Despite these limitations, the study serves as an important preliminary assessment, signaling a critical area for public health intervention. The low uptake rates presented provide a strong empirical basis for policymakers and family planning program managers to re-evaluate current strategies and allocate resources more effectively. Future research should build upon this descriptive foundation by conducting qualitative studies to explore perceptions and barriers, as well as quantitative studies to identify the specific factors influencing the adoption of permanent contraception among fertile age couples in East Java. This would provide a more comprehensive understanding and guide the development of targeted, evidence-based interventions, including but not limited to, intensive counseling, to improve contraceptive uptake.
