Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the sexual distress, quality of sexual life and the relationship between them in infertile women.Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the infertility polyclinic of a university hospital located in an eastern city of Turkey between June 2016 and January 2018. The study sample included 198 infertile female patients who consented for participation in the study, fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and visited the polyclinic between 30th June and 30th September 2016. The Questionnaire, Female Sexual Distress Scale, and Sexual Quality of Life Scale-Female were used to collect the data.Results: The mean score on the Sexual Distress Scale was 10.37±9.01 and mean score on the Sexual Quality of Life– Female Scale was 71.79±19.46. In women without sexual distress, the mean score on the Sexual Quality of Life– Female Scale was 86.70±8.06, whereas for women with sexual distress, the mean score on the Sexual Quality of Life– Female Scale was 58.32±16.73. The difference between the groups was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). In addition, a significantly strong negative correlation was found between the mean scores on the Sexual Distress Scale and Sexual Quality of Life – Female Scales (r:-0.827, p<0.001).Conclusion: Although about half of the infertile women were under sexual distress, their sexual distress levels were low, and their sexual quality of life was relatively high. Women under sexual distress were found to have low sexual quality of life. As the level of sexual distress increased, the sexual quality of life decreased significantly.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı infertil kadınların cinsel sıkıntılarını, cinsel yaşam kalitesini ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir.Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma, Türkiye'nin doğusunda bulunan bir üniversite hastanesinin infertilite polikliniğinde Haziran 2016-Ocak 2018 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden, dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan ve ilgili polikliniğe 30 Haziran- 30 Eylül 2016 tarihleri arasında başvuran 198 infertil kadın oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında Anket Formu, Kadın Cinsel Distres Ölçeği ve Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği-Kadın kullanılmıştır.Bulgular: Kadınların, Cinsel Distres Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 10.37±9.01 olduğu ve Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi- Kadın Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamasının 71.79±19.46 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Cinsel distres yaşamayan kadınlarda Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi- Kadın Ölçeğinin toplam puan ortalamasının 86.70±8.06 olduğu, cinsel distres yaşayanlarda ise Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi- Kadın Ölçeğinin toplam puan ortalamasının 58.32±16.73 olduğu saptanmış ve gruplar arasındaki farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu bulunmuştur (p <0.05). Ayrıca Cinsel Distres Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması ile Cinsel Yaşam Kalitesi- Kadın Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında negatif yönde anlamlı güçlü bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur (r:-0.827, p <0.001).Sonuç: İnfertil kadınların yaklaşık yarısı cinsel distres yaşamasına rağmen cinsel distres düzeylerinin düşük ve cinsel yaşam kalitelerinin iyi düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Cinsel distres yaşayan kadınların cinsel yaşam kalitelerinin düşük olduğu ve cinsel distres düzeyi arttıkça cinsel yaşam kalitelerinin de anlamlı derecede azaldığı belirlenmiştir.
