Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between emotional literacy and dyadic adjustment levels in couples receiving infertility treatment. This study was conducted in a descriptive and correlational design with 105 couples (n=210) at the IVF Center. A Questionnaire form, the Emotional Literacy Scale and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale were used to collect the data. 81.9% of the couples participating in the study were primary infertile, 77.1% wanted to have children for 1-4 years, and 70% were diagnosed with infertility for 1-5 years. 66.7% of male participants and 73.3% of female participants did not feel under pressure due to infertility. The study revealed that the couples had high scores of emotional literacy and dyadic adjustment. There was a weak positive correlation between emotional literacy and dyadic adjustment (r=0.337, p <0.001). It was also determined that as the emotional literacy level of the infertile couples increased dyadic adjustment also increased. It may be suggested to repeat this study in experimental-control group study design or with larger sample sizes. Nurses may provide more holistic and humane care if they consider couples' dyadic adjustment and emotional literacy in planning a person-centered care.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı infertilite tedavisi gören çiftlerde duygusal okuryazarlık ve çift uyumu düzeyi ve arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesidir. Bu çalışma, Tüp Bebek Merkezine başvuran 105 çift (n=210) ile tanımlayıcı ve ilişki arayıcı tipte gerçekleştirilmiştir. Verilerin toplanmasında Anket Formu, Duygusal Okuryazarlık Ölçeği ve Çiftler Uyum Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan çiftlerin %81,9’unun primer infertil olduğu, %77,1'inin 1-4 yıl arası çocuk sahibi olmak istediği, %70’inin ise 1-5 yıl arası infertilite tanısı aldığı belirlenmiştir. Erkek katılımcıların %66,7’sinin, kadın katılımcıların ise %73,3’ünün infertilite nedeniyle baskı altında hissetmediği bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, çiftlerin duygusal okuryazarlık ve çift uyum puanlarının yüksek olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Duygusal okuryazarlık ile çift uyumu arasında zayıf bir pozitif korelasyon vardır (r=0.337, p <0.001). İnfertil çiftlerin duygusal okuryazarlık düzeyi arttıkça çift uyumunun da arttığı belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın deney-kontrol gruplu çalışma tasarımında ya da daha büyük örneklem büyüklükleriyle tekrarlanması önerilebilir. Hemşireler birey merkezli bakımı planlarken çiftlerin çift uyumunu ve duygusal okuryazarlığını dikkate alırlarsa daha holistik ve hümanistik bakım sağlayabilirler.
