Factors influencing voluntary surgical contraception choice in a developing country: A cross‐sectional study
In this community sample, older age, higher education, and prior reflection on VSC increased acceptance, with prior contemplation as the strongest predictor. Conversely, abortion history and partner infidelity reduced acceptance. The number of children and physician recommendation showed less consistent effects. Findings underscore the need for reproductive health education, relationship-focused counseling, and policies supporting informed, autonomous contraceptive decisions.
