Husband's approval of contraceptive use plays a decisive role in Indonesia. Despite this, no previous study of contraceptive use in Indonesia has evaluated the importance of husband's approval. Such evaluation is especially important in metropolitan areas where family planning programs have encountered more difficulty than those elsewhere in recruiting contraceptive users. Using data from the first Indonesia Contraceptive Prevalence Survey for metropolitan cities, husband's approval and other determinants of contraceptive use among fecund women were evaluated. The levels of contraceptive use varied among cities, ranging from 34.2 percent in Ujung Pandang to 56.5 percent in Semarang. For all cities, however, husband's approval was the most important determinant, followed by number of living children and wife's education. Among women who desire to have no more children, 17.4 percent and 27.8 percent of contraceptive nonuse in Medan and Jakarta, respectively, was attributable to husband's disapproval. Because most of the family planning programs in Indonesia are designed to serve primarily women, the finding of husband's approval as the most important determinant has important program implications.
在印度尼西亚，丈夫对避孕措施使用的认可起着决定性作用。尽管如此，此前尚无针对印度尼西亚避孕措施使用情况的研究评估过丈夫认可的重要性。这种评估在大城市尤为重要，因为在这些地区，计划生育项目在招募避孕措施使用者方面比其他地区遇到了更多困难。利用来自印度尼西亚大城市首次避孕普及率调查的数据，对育龄妇女中丈夫的认可及其他避孕措施使用的决定因素进行了评估。不同城市的避孕措施使用水平各不相同，从乌戎潘当的34.2%到三宝垄的56.5%不等。然而，对于所有城市来说，丈夫的认可是最重要的决定因素，其次是存活子女数量和妻子的教育程度。在那些不想再生育的女性中，棉兰和雅加达分别有17.4%和27.8%的未使用避孕措施情况可归因于丈夫的反对。由于印度尼西亚的大多数计划生育项目主要是为女性服务的，丈夫的认可被视为最重要决定因素这一发现对项目具有重要意义。
