Abstract

Background: Women with unmet contraceptive needs rarely say that they do not realize the importance of contraceptives since they typically do not have access to contraceptives sources or supply or the price is unaffordable for them. In most countries, married women who ever experience side effects from contraceptives and have health risks prefer not to use it. For decades, advocates, health professionals, policymakers, and funding agents have used information about unmet needs for contraceptives to identify kinds of investments needed in family planning programs to help the development of the country. By helping women prevent unwanted pregnancies, those invented programs can reduce unwanted births and unsafe abortions, thereby improving the health of mothers and children. This can contribute to other development goals, such as reducing the poverty rate and slowing population growth. The importance of using contraception to regulate fertility has been recognized globally. This is a key aspect of reproductive health for women who want to limit their pregnancy rate. Purpose: This study aims to analyze abortion rate and percentage of unmet need in Java provinces, Indonesia, in 2020. Method: This study uses cross sectional to analyze data from Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey conducted in 2018, reports on contraceptive services of National Population and Family Planning Board (BKKBN), and Statistics Indonesia. The data were taken from all Java provinces, which are West Java, Central Java, and East Java. The statistical test used in this study was a linear regression to test the relationship between abortion and unmet need. Results and Discussion: Unmet need is a complex measure. It has been a debate for years among experts on demographic surveys and public health; on how can these happen, is it about by health care factor or about intentions and motivations of women or couples themselves.Conclusions: From the population, which is women in Java provinces, the number of unmarried women who are sexually active is smaller than the number of married women is. The majority of women in this study are already married, and social norms often became obstacles in pre-marital sexual activities. Unfortunately, this group has the highest number of unmet need for contraceptives, so health workers and whole community are expected to take part actively, considering that in this era of society, many residents have not met their needs for contraceptives due to various reasons and situations.
