The use of long-term contraceptive methods in women of childbearing age in Indonesia is still relatively low (4.7%).One type of long-term contraceptive methods is an intrauterine device (IUD). Students of Fakultas Kesehatan Masyarakat Universitas Indonesia (FKM UI)is considered to have sufficient knowledge of the long-term contraceptive methods.The purpose of this study is to explore the women behavior of childbearing age in the selection of IUDin FKM UI. This research was a qualitative research with in-depth interview method then analyzed with content analysis method. The sample was FKM UIpost graduate women students aged 15-49 years who have been married and decided to use contraception. The selected sample would be divided into two groups, those that used an IUD and didn’t use an IUD. The results of this study noted that the factors that inhibit IUD contraceptive use behavior are attitudes and the factors that encourage IUD use behavior are husband support. Interventions that may be done are to increase motivation and improve the perception of non-IUD users. This is expected to change the attitude of non-IUD users from disagreeing to agreeing to use an IUD. In addition, the role of husband support needs to be enhanced with various interventions.
