Abstract
Two-thousand cases (500 women and 500 men with sterilization; 500 women and 500 men without sterilization) in two counties and two cities in Sichuan, China, were investigated between 15 September 1992 and 30 April 1993. Information was obtained about their age, parity, marriage, contraceptives, social behavior, and present psychological characteristics. CES-D, SAS, and E.P.Q. scales were used to assess the depressive symptomatology, anxiety, and personality of the subjects. The results revealed that sterilization psychologically affected the depressive symptoms and anxiety under the neutral personality. In addition, depressive symptoms and anxiety were related to the subjects' age, educational level, income, operative doctors' attitudes to sterilization acceptors, and subjects' understanding of the sterilization.Entities:
