This study analyses factors associated with the incidence of sterilization regret in the four south Indian states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Using data from the National Family Health Surveys, in all four states the incidence of regret was found to be less than 10% and the factors significantly associated with it were child loss experience and quality of services. Hence, there is a need to improve the quality of services, both in terms of counselling and service provision, and women need to be counselled about the permanent nature of sterilization in order to avoid future regret.
本研究分析了印度南部四个邦（安得拉邦、卡纳塔克邦、喀拉拉邦和泰米尔纳德邦）与绝育后悔发生率相关的因素。利用全国家庭健康调查的数据发现，在这四个邦中，后悔发生率均低于10%，与之显著相关的因素是子女丧失经历和服务质量。因此，有必要在咨询和服务提供方面提高服务质量，并且需要就绝育的永久性对女性进行咨询，以避免她们日后后悔。
