The success of the PCC would need a mutual involvement of both the women and their spouse. In Indonesia, males\u2019 involvement in PCC is rare, and research on this subject is limited. This study aimed to explore men\u2019s involvement and factors associated with men\u2019s involvement in PCC in Bantul region, Yogyakarta.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study applied a cross-sectional survey from July to September 2024 at three primary health care centers in Bantul, involving 100 men aged &gt;18 years of those bride-to-be or those planning for conception. The data were analyzed descriptively and sought for any correlation between their perception and involvement in PCC with the aid of SPSS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results revealed varying levels of males\u2019 involvement in PCC, with 46% categorized as high, moderate (28%), and low (26%). Knowledge levels were a critical determinant, with men exhibiting higher knowledge showing greater involvement (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05). Positive attitudes and effective spousal communication were also correlated with higher levels of engagement in PCC.
