Abstract

Birth spacing through postpartum family planning is an important component of maternal, infant, and family health protection in communities at risk of stunting. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of postpartum mothers, couples of reproductive age, families, and the Danau Tras Village community about postpartum family planning as a strategy to prevent closely spaced pregnancies and support stunting reduction. The program used participatory health education, health services, information media installation, discussion, and question-and-answer sessions. It was conducted in Danau Tras Village, Simpang Kiri District, Subulussalam City in May 2026, involving 20 community participants and an implementation team consisting of lecturers, midwifery students of Akademi Kebidanan Medica Bakti Persada, and village stakeholders. The education covered the meaning of postpartum family planning, the benefits of healthy birth spacing, contraceptive options, family roles, and the need to consult health workers. The activity showed that community education can serve as an initial medium to strengthen family awareness of healthy pregnancy planning. Participants received health checks, obtained information about contraception, and joined discussions on barriers to postpartum contraceptive use. The program produced a concise education model that can be followed up by village midwives and posyandu cadres through repeated counseling, monitoring of postpartum mothers, and home visits for families who have not selected a contraceptive method.
