Introduction In 2050 the world population is estimated to reach 9 billion people, with a world population growth rate of 3%, which means there are around 78 million additional people every year. In Indonesia, the population growth rate between 2000 Ae 2002 was 3% or around 7. 3 million people every year. Indonesia is the country with the fourth largest population in the world after the People's Republic of China. India and the United States. This data provides a warning that the world population, especially Indonesia's population, is still relatively high, without efforts to control population, it will be difficult to achieve maximum development results in various sectors. The Family Planning (KB) program is one of the efforts that has been implemented in the last three decades to especially birth control, which has proven to be quite successful, among other things, with a fertility rate or Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of 2. This figure is above the average TFR for ASEAN countries, namely 2. Based on the results of the InterCensus Survey (SUPAS). Indonesia's Journal Educational of Nursing (JEN) Vol. 7 No. Mahmudin | Description of The Knowledge and Attitude of The Husband Towards Contraception population in 2018 was 269. 6 million Where the male population is 34 million more than the female population, which is only 134. Meanwhile, in Banten Province, until 2018, the fifth highest number was recorded in Indonesia after West Java Province. East Java Province. Central Java Province and North Sumatra Province. The family planning program is an integrated part of the National development program which is one of the ways to overcome population problems which aims to participate in creating the welfare of the Indonesian population through the use of various contraceptive methods to regulate pregnancy spacing or limit the number of children in the family. Increasing men's participation in family planning, especially vasectomies, is one of the targets to be achieved by the family planning program, namely achieving quality families by 2015. Although vasectomies are the most effective method of family planning, do not interfere with sexual relations, are safe, and have relatively cheap operating costs, in reality There were fewer vasectomy participants than tubectomy . emale sterilizatio. , with a ratio of 1: The Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey (SDKI) shows that the planning/sterilization . and female sterilization . is still not encouraging. Since 1987 when the first SDKI was implemented until the 2007 SDKI, vasectomy contraceptive participants were recorded at less than 1%, in fact the SDKI data shows a decrease compared to the 2002/2003 SDKI, 4% to 0. Based on the results of the implementation of the sub-system for recording and reporting contraceptive services nationally in 2013, looking at the combined contraception, the percentages are MOW (Female Surgical Metho. 16%). MOP (Male Surgical Metho. 16%) and condoms ( 38%). The majority of new family planning participants in 2013 were participants who used Non-Long Term Contraceptive Methods (Non MKJP), 41% of all new family planning participants. Meanwhile, only 59% of new family planning participants used long-term methods such as IUD. MOW. MOP and Implant. Meanwhile, the achievement of male family planning participants at the 3rd provincial level was for MOP . and condoms . 95%) (BKKBN, 2. The low participation of men in family planning and reproductive health is basically inseparable from the operation of family planning programs which have so far been implemented targeting women as targets. Likewise, the problem of providing contraceptives is almost all for women, so that society's mindset has a dominant perception, namely that those who get pregnant and give birth are women, so it is women who must use contraceptives. Therefore, since 2000 the government has made various efforts to increase men's participation in family planning and reproductive health through established policies. The contraceptive methods in Indonesia has not developed as expected. The low involvement of men in using the vasectomy contraceptive method is due to the concern that fathers/husbands will lose their virility after a vasectomy. The use of vasectomies as a contraceptive Journal Educational of Nursing (JEN) Vol. 7 No. Mahmudin | Description of The Knowledge and Attitude of The Husband Towards Contraception has not yet become a culture, among other things, due to social, cultural, community and family environmental conditions which still consider men's participation as not yet or not important, knowledge and awareness of men and their families regarding family planning is low and limited acceptance and accessibility of male contraceptive Based on a preliminary survey, researchers conducted interviews with couples of childbearing age (PUS), it turned out that 6 out of 10 couples of childbearing age did not know or understand about MOP contraception or Because description, researchers are interested in researching the description of husbands' knowledge about contraceptives on Jl.

This is because a small number of husbands understand the meaning, purpose, benefits, side effects, and how to use or apply MOP contraception, as evidenced by the respondents' ability to answer the questions asked well. This is in accordance with the theory which explains that knowledge is all information obtained from various sources with the help of the five human Understanding is defined as the ability to explain correctly about known objects, and to be able to interpret the material correctly. There were 27 respondents . %) in the "Enough" category. This is because respondents only know, but do not According to theory, "Know" is defined as remembering material that has been studied Included in this level of knowledge is remembering something specific from all the material studied or stimuli that have been received. Therefore, this is the lowest level of There were also respondents in the "Poor" category in terms of knowledge about MOP contraception, namely 32 respondents . %). This is because most respondents lack knowledge about MOP contraception, and lack curiosity, such as reading literature related to vasectomy contraception. This is supported by the theory which states that knowledge or cognitive domain is very important for the formation of a person's There were still many questions answered incorrectly by respondents, which were included in the category of knowledge about MOP contraception.
