It also prevents possible sexually transmitted infections. Objective: To conduct a systematic review of scientific studies on the sociocultural influence of the method used for family planning in women in their childbearing years. Methods: It was based on a literature review, selecting articles in both English and Spanish, using keywords and boolean operators AND and OR, from 2018 to 2022. Using search engines of the Virtual Health Library, Google Scholar, and the Virtual Library of the Catholic University of Cuenca within the last five years. Results: Socio-cultural influences identified included myths and taboos, deep-seated views that children are 'divine blessings', men's fear of losing control over their spouses, and patriarchy. In addition, couples' perceptions, machismo, and religious taboos where the man is the decision-maker. At the same time, women with a low level of education are at risk of not using birth control. Along with the beliefs that it would reduce women's fertility, the side effects, adaptation to family and social pressure to have children, and prioritization of sons.
