Abstract

High fertility causes an increase in population. To prevent it, the government increases socialization about family
planning programs, including the people of Tulungagung Regency. It aims to increase the use of contraceptives to prevent
pregnancy. However, in its application there is still a gender gap. This can be seen from the number of contraceptives for women
compared to men. Because this causes the assumption that women must use contraception. So that it makes women of
childbearing age tend to use contraceptives that are widely used by the community, namely injectable contraception. Although there
are some side effects of injectable contraceptives, such as changes in physical shape which in some women cause insecurity. The
purpose of this study was to determine the rationality of decision making in injectable family planning as a contraceptive for
women of childbearing age in Tulungagung Regency. This study uses a qualitative research method and The theory used is Max
Weber's concept of rationality for analyzing data. The research subjects used purposive and women of childbearing age in
Mergayu Village as the research subjects. The results show that there are four rationalities that influence decision making.

costs and time. Value rationality due to religious values, children's values and socio-cultural values. Affective rationality is due to
the feeling of giving in to husband, husband's support and no fear of using injectable family planning. The traditional rationale is
