Family planning is a shared reproductive responsibility that involves not only women but also husbands as partners in decision-making and contraceptive use. This study examined the relationship between husbands’ knowledge and attitudes and their participation in family planning among couples of reproductive age in the working area of Kandangan Public Health Center. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used involving 150 husbands selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes, and participation in family planning and were analyzed using univariate analysis and the Chi-Square test. The findings showed that 118 respondents (78.67%) had high knowledge, 87 respondents (58%) had positive attitudes, and 111 respondents (74%) participated in family planning. The Chi-Square analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between knowledge and husbands’ participation in family planning (χ² = 4.522; p = 0.033), as well as between attitudes and husbands’ participation (χ² = 4.117; p = 0.042). These findings indicate that husbands with favorable knowledge and attitudes are significantly associated with participation in family planning. The results highlight the importance of strengthening husband-oriented reproductive health education and counseling while encouraging couple communication and shared responsibility. Family planning services should involve husbands more actively to support informed reproductive decision-making and sustained participation.
