INTISARI
Latar Belakang: Jumlah bidan di desa masih dibawah target nasional. Kendala pemerataan distribusi bidan desa dapat disebabkan oleh minat yang rendah. Minat dipengaruhi oleh internal locus of control. Tujuan dari penelitian ini, untuk mengetahui hubungan internal locus of control dengan minat menjadi bidan desa.
Metode: Penelitian ini menggunakan desain observasional analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Sampel 85 mahasiswa semester VI yang dipilih menggunakan simple random sampling. Instrumen data menggunakan skala internal locus of control dan skala minat menjadi bidan desa. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Uji Pearson Product Moment dengan bantuan SPSS versi 17,0 for windows.
Hasil: Rerata internal locus of control dan minat menjadi bidan desa diperoleh hasil 95.71 dan 84.56. Hasil uji hipotesis menggunakan uji pearson, terdapat hubungan antara internal locus of control dengan minat, dengan kekuatan korelasi sedang (r =0.536, p=0.000) (p<0,05)
Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan yang positif dan signifikan antara internal locus of control dengan minat mahasiswa menjadi bidan desa.

ABSTRACT
Background: The number of midwives posted in villages is still below the national target. The constraint to the even distribution of the midwives can be due to their low interest in becoming village midwives. The interest is affected by the internal locus of control. The objective of this research is to investigate the correlation between the internal locus of control and the interest in becoming a midwife.
Method: This research used the observational analytical method with the cross-sectional design. Its samples consisted of 85 students in Semester VI of aforementioned college. They were taken by using the simple random sampling. The data of research were collected through the scale of internal locus of control that of interest in becoming a village midwife and analyzed by using the Pearson Product Moment’s Test aided with the computer program of SPSS Version 17.0 for windows.
Result: The mean of internal locus of control and that of interest in becoming a village midwife were 95.71 and 84.56 respectively. The result of hypothesis testing by using the Pearson Product Moment’s shows that there was a moderate correlation between the internal locus of control and the interest in becoming a village midwife as indicated by the r-value =0.536 and the p-value =0.000 (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There was a positive and significant correlation between the internal locus of control and the students’ interest in becoming a village midwife.
