Abstrakt: Background: There is limited research on postabortion family planning (PAFP) services and subsequent contraception in China. The current study aimed to identify women's contraceptive methods choices and associated factors after receiving PAFP services. Methods: A cross-sectional study used a cluster, stratified and multistage random sample to collect data. All eligible data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. The chi-square test was used to assess the association between categorical variables. Significant variables (p < 0.05) and all potential variables were then included in the binary logistic regression model for analysis. Results: Approximately 84.7% (1043/1231) of participants had received pre-abortion PAFP counselling, and approximately 90% of them chose reliable methods. Farmers or workers (OR = 0.297, 95% CI: 0.130–0.683), family monthly income (3000–4999 RMB, OR = 0.454, 95% CI: 0.212–0.973; ≥5000 RMB, OR = 0.455, 95% CI: 0.228–0.909), reliable advice from services providers before abortion (OR = 0.098, 95% CI: 0.039–0.250), painless surgical abortion (OR = 3.465, 95% CI 1.177–10.201), and postabortion follow-up (OR = 0.543, 95% CI: 0.323–0.914) and were associated with contraception choice after receiving PAFP services. Conclusions: This study emphasizes the importance of pre-abortion PAFP counselling, postabortion follow-up, and increased focus on women who have experienced painless abortion. The study provides direction for PAFP services policymakers, as well as a reference for contraceptive counselling research around the world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
