Although nulliparous women who are sterilized appear voluntarily "childfree," the majority report non-contraceptive reasons for their surgical procedure. Using an analytical subsample of the National Survey of Fertility Barriers, we examined 105 women's closed- and open-ended responses about the reasons for their sterilization surgeries and whether their sterilization occurred before their childbearing desires were met. We found considerable heterogeneity in the experiences and attitudes of participants. We highlight important implications of women's experiences for fertility and reproductive health research and practice, particularly by drawing a distinction between voluntarily childfree and involuntarily childless women.
虽然接受绝育手术的未育女性看似自愿选择“不要孩子”，但大多数人表示手术是出于非避孕原因。我们利用全国生育障碍调查的一个分析子样本，研究了105名女性关于绝育手术原因以及绝育是否在她们的生育愿望实现之前发生的封闭式和开放式回答。我们发现参与者的经历和态度存在很大差异。我们强调了女性经历对生育和生殖健康研究及实践的重要影响，特别是通过区分自愿不要孩子和非自愿无子女的女性。
