The records of 8056 Nepalese males and 9291 females sterilized from 1979-1983 were analyzed. Compared with data from previous studies (1970-1976), significant decreases occurred in the average age of female acceptors (30.6 vs. 33.1, P less than 0.01) and wives of male acceptors (28.4 vs. 31.7, P less than 0.01). Also, the average number of living children per couple decreased by one child (4.9-3.9, P less than 0.01) for male acceptors and 0.6 (4.8-4.2, P less than 0.01) for female acceptors. Finally in 83.2% of the cases, the operation was performed within 3 years of the last delivery.

PIP: The records of 8056 Nepalese males and 9291 females sterilized from 1979-1983 were analyzed. Compared with data from previous studies (1970-1976), significant decreases occurred in the average age of female acceptors (30.6 vs. 31.7, P0.01) and wives of male acceptors (28.4 vs. 31.7, P0.01). Also, the average number of living children per couple decreased by 1 child (4.9-3.9, P0.01) for male acceptors and 0.6 (4.8--4.2, P0.01) for female acceptors. Finally in 83.2% of the cases, the operation was performed within 3 years of the last delivery. Since 1970-1971 there has been a progressive rise in the % of sterilization acceptors referred by the health worker. For male acceptors there has been nearly a 3-fold increase. The vast majority of both male and female acceptors elected to have their operations within 2 years of the last delivery, regardless of the outcome. It appears that most couples time sterilization to coincide with the cessation of breastfeeding. Care must be taken to guard against the health worker being overly zealous in motivating and mobilizing potential voluntary sterilization contraception candidates.
