Abstract

Determinant of Traditional Contraceptive Use in East Java. The 2002-2017 IDHS data showed an increasing percentage of traditional contraceptive users in Indonesia, including in East Java from 2.8% to 6.7%. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of traditional contraceptive use in East Java. This study was a non-randomized study with cross sectional design using 2017 IDHS secondary data. The sample study was 5,583 married reproductive age women aged 19-49 years from the 2017 IDHS data of East Java. Data were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. The determinant factors of traditional contraceptive use in 2017 IDHS data of East Java were Method Information Index (p = 0,000), age of woman (p = 0,025), education (p = 0,000), place of residence (0,004), knowledge of woman's fertile period (p = 0,006), and information from TV (p = 0.005). While information from radio (0.142) was not related to the use of traditional contraceptives. A policy on the use of modern contraceptives is needed, which is targeted and focused on women of childbearing age married with a higher education background in urban areas. Optimizing the role of family planning counselors to increase family planning knowledge is very important in increasing the use of modern contraceptives in East Java.
