The present study explored the views of Mexican men concerning vasectomy. One hundred and five men who had not had a vasectomy were asked to complete the following phrase "If you no longer wanted to have more children and a vasectomy was suggested, you would react with . . . or you would think . . . " with at least five different answers. Participants then had to rank each of their answers according to how well they describe the participant's feelings in the hypothetical situation. The results were analyzed using the Natural Semantic Networks Technique. The most common words used by participants with a limited educational background were reject, followed by fear and anger, and they did not use any words that implied acceptance of vasectomy. In contrast, the most common words used by participants with higher education were curiosity, followed by acceptance and interest; however, they also used the words fear and insecurity. The most frequent attitudes reported by men with limited education were negative, whereas participants with a higher education reported more ambivalent attitudes. These findings are discussed in light of sociocultural features and could be helpful in designing reproductive health programs with more effective counseling to diminish negative views about vasectomy.
本研究探讨了墨西哥男性对输精管切除术的看法。105名未接受过输精管切除术的男性被要求完成以下句子：“如果你不再想要更多孩子，有人建议你做输精管切除术，你会有……的反应，或者你会想……”，并给出至少五个不同的答案。然后，参与者必须根据每个答案在假设情境中描述其感受的程度对答案进行排序。结果采用自然语义网络技术进行分析。教育背景有限的参与者最常用的词是“拒绝”，其次是“恐惧”和“愤怒”，他们没有使用任何暗示接受输精管切除术的词。相比之下，受过高等教育的参与者最常用的词是“好奇”，其次是“接受”和“兴趣”；然而，他们也使用了“恐惧”和“不安全感”等词。教育程度有限的男性报告的最常见态度是否定的，而受过高等教育的参与者报告的态度则更为矛盾。将根据社会文化特征对这些发现进行讨论，这可能有助于设计生殖健康计划，提供更有效的咨询，以减少对输精管切除术的负面看法。
