Introduction: Family planning determines the quality of the
family because it has the potential to save women's lives and improve
their health status, especially by preventing unwanted pregnancies,
birth spacing, and reducing the risk of infant mortality. The low level
of family planning acceptance is caused by the influence of children's
grades. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of
children's cultural, economic, social, and psychological values on the
participation of women of childbearing age in the Family Planning
program in the working area of the Pijokorling Public Health Center.

multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the data. The
findings of this study indicate that there is a relationship between
children's cultural values ( p<0.001 ), children's economic values (p =
0.001), children's social values (p = 0.034), and children's social
values (p = 0.034). psychological value of children (p = 0.020) and
participation of mothers of reproductive age couples in the Family
Planning program. Conclusion: what is obtained is that children's
