Abstract

AIM: This study was performed to determine the psychological factors affecting infertile women presenting at the infertility outpatients department. METHOD: The sample of this cross-sectional study consisted of 344 women who presented at the IVF center of a special branch hospital or a university hospital, March 2008 through September 2008, as determined by the non-random sampling method. All participating women gave their informed consent. The data were collected using the Data Form that consisted of questions on socio-demographic features and the Infertility Distress Scale (IDS). In the results, percentages were provided along with the Kruskal-Wallis H, Mann-Whitney U and Spearman correlation tests. RESULTS: The mean IDS was 39.01±9.6. There was a statistically significant linear relationship between the mean IDS score and age (r=0.106, p=0.048), marriage duration (r=0.232, p<0.001) and duration of desire to have a child (r=0.217, p<0.001). Women who were primary school graduates (X²=13.03, p=0.004), did not work (p=0.007), had no social security benefits (p=0.021) or from low socioeconomic status (X²=24.85, p<0.001) had significantly higher mean IDS scores. CONCLUSION: The results of this study show women become more adversely affected by infertility as their age, duration of marriage, and duration of desire to have a child increase. Women who are primary school graduates, do not work, have no social security benefits or have lower income are affected more negatively. We believe that taking these features into account when evaluating and planning supportive approaches for women presenting at the infertility treatment center and determining the psychological state of the women using the IDS will increase treatment success.

Özet

AMAÇ: Bu çalışma infertilite polikliniğine başvuran kadınları psikolojik olarak etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. YÖNTEM: Kesitsel tipte olan bu çalışmanın örneklemini, bir özel dal ve bir üniversite hastanesine bağlı iki IVF merkezine Mart-Eylül 2008 tarihleri arasında başvuran, olasılıksız örneklem yöntemiyle belirlenen ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan 344 kadın oluşturmuştur. Veriler, sosyo-demografik özelliklerle ilgili sorulardan oluşan Bilgi Formu ve İnfertilite Etkilenme Ölçeği (İEÖ) kullanılarak toplanmıştır. BULGULAR: Kadınların İEÖ puan ortalaması 39,0±9,6’dır. Yaş (r=0.106, p=0.048), evlilik süresi (r=0.232, p<0.001) ve çocuk isteme süresi (r=0.217, p<0.001) ile İEÖ puan ortalaması arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı doğrusal ilişkiler bulunmuştur. İlkokul mezunu olan (X²=13.03, p=0.004), çalışmayan (p=0.007), sosyal güvencesi olmayan (p=0.021) ve gelir durumu kötü olan (X²=24.85, p<0.001) kadınların İEÖ puan ortalaması istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı olarak daha yüksektir. SONUÇ: Bu çalışmada elde edilen bulgulara göre; yaş, evlilik süresi ve çocuk isteme süresi arttıkça kadınların infertiliteden etkilenme düzeyleri artmaktadır. İlkokul mezunu, çalışmayan, sosyal güvencesi olmayan ve gelir durumu kötü olan kadınlar infertiliteden daha çok etkilenmektedirler. İnfertilite tedavi merkezine başvuran kadınların değerlendirilmesinde ve destekleyici yaklaşımların planlanmasında bu özelliklerin dikkate alınmasının ve hastanın psikolojik durumunun İEÖ ile saptanmasının tedavi başarısını artıracağı düşünülmektedir.
