This study explored the relationship between body appreciation and discontinuing contraception due to concern about weight gain. A racially and ethnically diverse sample of women, from the United States, ( = 494) was recruited online. Binomial logistic regression was used for analysis. Participants with higher body appreciation were less likely to stop taking birth control due to concern about weight gain (OR = 0.56, .002). These results suggest body appreciation may be a defense against concern about weight gain associated with contraceptive use. Interventions aimed at increasing women's body appreciation, body positivity, as well as decreasing weight stigma could improve contraception use.
本研究探讨了身体欣赏与因担心体重增加而停止避孕之间的关系。从美国招募了一个种族和民族多样化的女性样本（n = 494），通过网络进行招募。采用二项逻辑回归进行分析。身体欣赏程度较高的参与者因担心体重增加而停止服用避孕药的可能性较小（OR = 0.56，P <.002）。这些结果表明，身体欣赏可能是抵御与使用避孕药相关的体重增加担忧的一种防御机制。旨在提高女性身体欣赏、身体积极性以及减少体重歧视的干预措施可能会改善避孕药的使用情况。
