The aim of this study was to explore and describe contraception practices among young unmarried Vietnamese women seeking abortion after an unintended pregnancy. A qualitative study was conducted with voluntary participation of 42 women at a hospital in Ho Chi Minh City. Interview data were subjected to content analysis from which five categories were identified: (1) attitudes towards sexuality and contraception, (2) knowledge about contraception, (3) use of contraceptive methods, (4) cultural and traditional issues concerning sexuality and contraception, and (5) abortion as a solution to unwanted pregnancy. Prior to their abortion, women had viewed premarital sex as a means of maintaining a relationship with their boyfriends. Misconceptions, misbeliefs, fear of side effects and limited knowledge were reasons for not using contraception and, in case of unintended pregnancy, abortion was the solution. Boyfriends played an important role in influencing the use (or non-use) of contraceptives. Sexual and reproductive health education including counselling for gender equality, safer sex practices and the prevention of unintended pregnancy should be provided to both women and men in ways which combine traditional and modern views of sexuality. Intervention research to develop sexual and reproductive health education programmes, including contraception counselling, should be carried out.
