Abstract

Unmet family planning is one of the common causes of low contraceptive prevalence rates in developing countries,
including Indonesia. Contraceptive in family planning is used to monitor family planning. Globally, the unmet
for family planning remains high. The population growth rate is due to birth (fertility), death (mortality), and
population. The high population growth is one of the problems in Indonesia and other developing countries. One
of the population growth efforts is carrying out a family planning program to control fertility because it is critical
for managing population growth, especially in Indonesia[1]. Program from the Indonesian government contains
population growth, including the Family Planning Program, Reproductive Health, Prosperous family, and family
empowerment. Based on the Indonesian Demographic Health Survey, it is evident that the proportion of unmet
needs for family planning in 2012 was 11.4%, and in 2017 10.6%. This study aims to factors associated with the
family planning program used by married women. Thus, this study is designed to assess the prevalence and
associated factors of unmet needs of family planning programs.
This study uses secondary data from 2017 IDHS carried out in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The total sample was
34.086 of 49,627 mother’s aged 15-49 years. The dependent variable was the family planning program. The
independent variables consisted of socio-demographic and socioeconomic factors, knowledge, discussion with
husband, and access to health services. Data analysis was performed through a binary logistic regression test to
obtain the adjusted odds ratio of each factor. Data analysis using binary logistic regression STATA.
The results showed that determinant factors related to the unmet- need of family planning program were the use
of contraception (p=0.000), maternal age (p=0.000), mother’s education (p=0.000), number of children’s ownership
(p=0.000), history of child death (p=0.000) 0.000), wealth index (p=0.011), province of residence (p=0.000),
knowledge about contraceptive use (p=0.000) and ever used anything to delay getting pregnant (p=0.000). The
proportion of unmet needs in this analysis was 61% with p- value= 0.000 OR= 2.49 (95% CI= 2.43- 2.56).The proportion of unmet needs in Indonesia is still high. Programs intervention should be targeted at women to
decrease associated factors, especially in the productive period
