Abstract

Background: Postpartum Family Planning (PPFP) is a crucial intervention to prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduce maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Despite government efforts, the utilization rate of PPFP remains below national targets in several regions in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes and the utilization of PPFP among postpartum mothers at the Genuk Community Health Center in Semarang. Methods: A cross-sectional quantitative analytic study was conducted from January to April 2024 involving 66 postpartum mothers who met the inclusion criteria at Genuk Community Health Center, Semarang, Indonesia. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data collection utilized a structured and validated questionnaire covering sociodemographics, knowledge, attitudes, and postpartum family planning practices, followed by analysis with Chi-square and multivariate logistic regression. Results: The majority of respondents had moderate knowledge (51.5%) and positive attitudes (59.1%) about PPFP; 68.2% reported utilizing PPFP. Knowledge (p=0.026) and attitude (p=0.008) were significantly associated with PPFP use. Multivariate analysis showed that mothers with sufficient knowledge were 2.6 times more likely (95% CI: 1.2–5.7), and mothers with positive attitudes were 2.2 times more likely (95% CI: 1.1–4.6) to use postpartum family planning.
