Tubal ligation is the most common form of contraception in India. We conducted this study to assess the factors associated with post-sterilization regrets.
This study was designed to assess risk factors that are likely to cause regret following female sterilization in Indian women.
Questionnaire-based study.
This was a questionnaire-based study to assess the level of satisfaction after tubal ligation in women attending family planning clinic at the hospital over a period of 1 year. Evaluation of data obtained through questionnaire from 236 women who had undergone tubal ligation was done.
Univariate analysis to determine crude odds ratio was carried out. Subsequently, multiple regression analysis was used to find the adjusted odds ratio (and 95% confidence intervals) for each variable.
We found a strong co-relation between regrets and young age (less than 30 years), fewer number of children, few or no male children and lack of partner motivation prior to sterilization. Menstrual irregularities and dysmenorrhoea did not influence regret to a large extent.
Fertility-related factors, namely, age at sterilization, family size, number of male offspring, timing of sterilization and non-involvement of partner in decision making played a greater role in post-sterilization regrets than menstrual factors (menstrual irregularities and dysmenorrhoea).
输卵管结扎是印度最常见的避孕方式。我们开展这项研究以评估与绝育后后悔相关的因素。
本研究旨在评估印度女性绝育后可能导致后悔的风险因素。
基于问卷调查的研究。
这是一项基于问卷调查的研究，旨在评估在一年时间里到医院计划生育门诊就诊的女性输卵管结扎后的满意度水平。对通过问卷调查从236名接受输卵管结扎的女性获得的数据进行了评估。
进行单因素分析以确定粗比值比。随后，使用多元回归分析来确定每个变量的调整后比值比（及95%置信区间）。
我们发现后悔与年轻（小于30岁）、子女数量少、几乎没有或没有儿子以及绝育前伴侣缺乏支持之间存在很强的相关性。月经不调和痛经在很大程度上并未影响后悔情绪。
与生育相关的因素，即绝育时的年龄、家庭规模、男性后代数量、绝育时机以及伴侣未参与决策，在绝育后后悔方面比月经因素（月经不调和痛经）发挥了更大作用。
