台灣的外籍與中國大陸籍配偶人數眾多並且對於台灣的生育狀況有相當的影響。據過去研究發現，外籍與中國大陸籍配偶普遍於婚後一年半內生育第一胎，且生育間隔較短，採取避孕措施以調節生育之人數亦較少。在跨國婚姻中，越南籍與中國大陸籍配偶婚後需同時適應移居台灣的生活以及可能隨之而來的生育壓力，爲提供這族群適當調節生育之方法以促進身心健康，故本研究採橫斷式、相關性研究設計，以計畫行為理論為研究架構，探討越南籍與中國大陸籍配偶採行避孕之相關因素。
本研究採便利取樣方式於台灣收集符合條件之越南籍配偶與中國大陸籍配偶各85人，以自擬之問卷進行資料收集，所得資料除描述性統計及t檢定、卡方檢定外，再以相關及迴歸分析進行分析。研究結果發現，越南籍女性配偶多數使用保險套，而中國大陸籍女性配偶則多數採用子宮內避孕器。對避孕行為意向之預測力方面，越南籍女性配偶以自覺避孕行為控制為最主要之預測變項；而中國大陸籍女性配偶則以避孕行為態度為最重要之變項。對越南籍與中國大陸籍女性配偶之避孕行為預測力上，皆以避孕行為意向為最重要之預測變項。本研究結果可提供臨床護理人員作為提供越南籍及中國大陸籍女性配偶避孕及家庭計畫建議之參考。

The number of Vietnamese and Chinese female spouses had increased rapidly recently in Taiwan. These immigrant female spouses usually had their first child in eighteen months after they had married. The short birthing space and the low contraceptive rate increased Vietnamese and Chinese female spouses’ pressure to adapt the new living environment. Therefore, provision of information of appropriate contraceptives might promote these immigrant spouses’ reproductive health. The purpose of the study was to explore the factors related to contraception in Vietnamese and Chinese female spouses in Taiwan. A cross-sectional correlation study design was used and the planned behavior theory was the conceptual framework to examine the research hypotheses. A convenient sample with a total of 170 women, eighty-five each in the Vietnamese group and the Chinese group, were recruited to this study. Findings of the study indicated that the majority of Vietnamese female spouses used condoms, but most of the Chinese female spouses utilized intrauterine devices to control birth. Perceived contraceptive control was the most important predictor to predict the contraceptive intention in Vietnamese female spouses. However, in Vietnamese female spouses, attitude toward contraception is the major predictor of their contraceptive intention. Contraceptive intention was the main predictor of contraceptive behavior in both Vietnamese and Chinese female spouses. In conclusion, results of this study would provide the fundamental information for developing trans-cultural family planning program for Vietnamese and Chinese female spouses.
