Abstract

Introduction:   The population in Indonesia has reached 278.69 million people in July 2023. This figure is up 1.05% from 2022, namely 275.77 million people. To control population growth, the government has created programs, one of which is the long-term contraceptive method family planning program or  Long Term Contraceptive Methods  in the form of IUDs, Implants, MOW and MOP through the assistance of husbands using audiovisual media.

Results:    The participation of women of childbearing age in family planning using long-term contraceptive methods in the intervention group and control group before being given treatment, no one used MKJP family planning (0%) and after being given treatment, the intervention group used MKJP family planning, numbering 6 people (40%) and the control group 2 people (13.3%). Based on the Significant Difference Test using the Mann-Whitney test, the category of husband's knowledge and support for MKJP family planning participation above can be seen as a p-value of 0.000, which means there is a significant difference between before giving the intervention and after giving the intervention. With the results of this test, the data Ho is rejected and Ha is accepted, which means that the use of the audio-visual method influences the level of knowledge which influences the husband's support for family planning for long-term contraceptive methods.
