An increase in the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) leads to a growing population and a decline in family quality
within a society. This study aims to identify the factors influencing contraceptive use among couples of
reproductive age in Tebing Tinggi District. A cross-sectional design was employed, with multivariate
analysis used for prediction models. The sample consisted of couples of reproductive age in Tebing Tinggi
District, West Tanjung Jabung Regency, selected through a simple random sampling method. Six variables
were found to be significantly associated with contraceptive use: husband’s support, knowledge, education,
partner’s attitude, perception of side effects, and sources of information. Conversely, there was no
significant relationship between the ideal number of children, economic status, and cultural factors with
contraceptive use. The dominant factor influencing contraceptive use was husband’s support, showing a
higher likelihood of contraceptive use among couples who received support from their husbands. Health
facilities play a crucial role as pioneers in providing education to couples of reproductive age regarding
contraceptive use, thus potentially increasing participation in family planning programs among these
couples. ; Bibliografi : halaman 9-10
