  • Performed multivariate regression analysis to determine predictors of changes in quality of life.

Abstract

< .05). In multivariate regression analysis, the FSFI satisfaction domain was an independent predictor of improvement in the psychological domain of the WHOQOL. These findings highlight the need for comprehensive counseling regarding potential adjustments in well-being after implant insertion. The etonogestrel contraceptive implant did not alter women's sexual function, and its adverse effects did not impact their overall quality of life. The method was well accepted by the participants.
