The role of husband-wife communication in the practice of family planning was studied among the rural Malay couples in Mukim Rusila, Terengganu. It was a cross-sectional study in which a cluster sampling was used to select the study sample. A total of 193 (100.0%) wives and 74 (38.3%) husbands responded to a face-to-face interview. Visual Analogue Scale was used to measure the level of husband-wife communication. Husband-wife communication score was lower on family planning compared to other matters. There was a significant fair agreement on the scores between the husbands and the wives (p > 0.05) on family planning. There was a significant association between husband-wife communication on family planning and the current practice of family planning (p = 0.002). The 'likelihood' that couples who had had good husband-wife communication to practice family planning was about 2.8 times higher compared to those couples with poor husband-wife communication (95% C.I.: 1.4, 5.3). Further research need to be carried out, as the study was limited by certain constraints.
在登嘉楼乌鲁士拉县的农村马来夫妇中，研究了夫妻沟通在计划生育实践中的作用。这是一项横断面研究，采用整群抽样来选择研究样本。共有193名（100.0%）妻子和74名（38.3%）丈夫接受了面对面访谈。采用视觉模拟量表来衡量夫妻沟通水平。与其他事项相比，计划生育方面的夫妻沟通得分较低。在计划生育方面，丈夫和妻子的得分之间存在显著的中等一致性（p>0.05）。计划生育方面的夫妻沟通与当前的计划生育实践之间存在显著关联（p = 0.002）。夫妻沟通良好的夫妇实行计划生育的“可能性”比夫妻沟通不佳的夫妇高约2.8倍（95%置信区间：1.4，5.3）。由于该研究受到某些限制，需要进一步开展研究。
