Latar Belakang: Informasi dan akses terhadap berbagai metode kontrasepsi yang aman, efektif, terjangkau dan akseptabel merupakan hak setiap orang. Dari beberapa penelitian dan survei ditemukan bahwa petugas KB maupun petugas kesehatan belum secara rinci dan optimal dalam memberikan informasi kepada klien. Tujuan: Mengetahui kualitas Penyuluh Keluarga Berencana (PKB) dalam memberikan informasi di Kabupaten Kotabaru. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi evaluatif melalui pendekatan kualitatif dan kuantitatif, jenis penelitian adalah deskriptif. Informan penelitian adalah pengelola atau pelaksana program KB sebanyak 13 orang dan akseptor KB sebanyak 3 orang yang dipilih secara purposive. Hasil: Dukungan dan perhatian dari para pengambil kebijakan baik pemerintah daerah maupun Badan Keluarga Berencana Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak (BKBPPPA) terhadap pelaksanaan program KB di tingkat lini lapangan masih kurang. Hal ini berdampak pada kualitas PKB dalam memberikan informasi. Secara keseluruhan hasil evaluasi terhadap komponen input, proses dan output masih kurang. Hambatan PKB dalam memberikan informasi disebabkan oleh latar belakang pendidikan dan pengetahuan PKB, karakteristik kader, kondisi geografis dan wilayah kerja, kurangnya dukungan tenaga, dana, sarana KIE. Kesimpulan: Kualitas informasi yang diterima kader PPKBD/sub PPKBD masih kurang, hal ini karena kemampuan PKB dalam melaksanakan aspek manajerial masih kurang. Ketidakmampuan PKB dalam melaksanakan aspek manajerial karena tidak didukung oleh tenaga, dana dan sarana KIE yang memadai. Penyuluh KB tidak mampu untuk memberikan penjelasan tentang kontrasepsi secara rinci, tetapi lebih berperan dalam menggerakan masyarakat untuk berpartisipasi melakukan kegiatan KIE KB.

Background: Information and access to various methods of safe, effective, and acceptable contraceptives are each and every person’s right. However, based on some studies and surveys, it is known that the providers of family planning as well as other health workers have not given information concerning contraceptive to the clients in details and optimally. Objective: To know quality of family planning field workers in providing information in Kotabaru District. Method: This was an evaluative-descriptive study with the qualitative and quantitative approaches. The informants were the management of family planning program as many as 13 persons and contraceptive acceptors as many as 3 persons selected purposively. Result: Support and concern from decision makers both the local government and Child Protection and Women’s Empowerment Family Planning Board (BKBPPPA) to the implementation of family planning program in the frontier of the field was considered insufficient. This gave impacts on the quality of family planning field workers in providing information. As a whole, the result of evaluation to the components of input, process, and output was still inadequate. This was caused by several obstacles such as the educational background and knowledge of family planning field workers, cadre’s characteristic, geographical and work area condition, lack of workers, fund, and CIE facilities. Conclusion: The quality of information received by the cadres village family planning volunteers/sub-village family planning volunteers was still insufficient because the family planning field workers could not fully implemented managerial aspects due to some aspects such as the inadequate support of workers, fund, and CIE facilities. In addition, the family planning field workers were not able to provide explanation about contraceptive in details but were likely to be more involved in energizing community to participate in the CIE activity of family planning program.
