The use of injectable contraceptives remains the main choice among women of reproductive age (WRA) in various regions, including Jember Regency. Based on data from PMB Dian Setyorini in 2024, the number of injectable family planning (FP) acceptors has increased significantly compared to other contraceptive methods. This study aims to determine the factors influencing the high number of injectable contraceptive acceptors at PMB Dian Setyorini, Tembokrejo Village, Gumukmas District, Jember Regency. This research employed a descriptive quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all active injectable contraceptive acceptors, totaling 35 respondents, selected using a total sampling technique. Data were analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distribution. The results showed that most respondents had good knowledge about injectable contraceptives (60.0%), a positive attitude toward their use (68.6%), received spousal support (74.3%), perceived the role of health workers as good (80.0%), and stated that access to services was easily reachable (82.9%). These factors collectively contributed to the high interest and continued use of injectable contraceptives in the study area. The conclusion of this study is that the level of knowledge, positive attitude, husband’s support, the optimal role of midwives, and ease of access to services are the dominant factors influencing the high number of injectable contraceptive acceptors at PMB Dian Setyorini.
