Abstract: This research applied the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and its extension lead, the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to health-seeking behavior analysis. The purpose of the study was to assess if the variables of the TRA and TPB would predict intentions to participate in cure among obstetric fistula women in Nigeria. Data was collected from 300 respondents relating to the study constructs in Nigeria and was exposed to structural equation modeling analysis. The results of this study indicated that the critical motivation to participation in cure is attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. As a final point, the implication and recommendation of these results were discussed
