Abstract

Objective: Involuntarily not being able to conceive a child has always been a social stigma which has resulted in emotional trauma and relationship strain. Body image is affected by infertility. Although several studies have revealed emotional stress in infertile individuals in Turkey and compared western and eastern societies’ view of body image in infertile women, a comparison between highly fertile and infertile women has never been made before. Herein, we aimed to compare body image perception between infertile women and highly fertile women in the southeast part of Turkey. Method: In this study, 67 infertile and 59 highly fertile (women having children more than 5) women were enrolled. Body Image Scale was applied to both groups. Some sociodemographic information such as age, smoking status, and difficulties experienced in infertility processes were evaluated. Results: We showed that Body Image Scale scores including sexual power were significantly higher in highly fertile women. Body image was not associated with the gender of the child/children. The infertile group was found to have less smoking rates than the highly fertile group. Discussion: Therefore, the conclusion drawn deduces that body image is negatively affected by infertility and positively affected by high fertility, especially, in societies where having many children is expected and appreciated.

Özet

Amaç: Çocuk sahibi olamama, her zaman duygusal bir travma ve ilişki gerilimi ile sonuçlanan bir toplumsal damgalama olmuştur. Vücut algısı infertiliteden etkilenir. Türkiye’de yaşayan infertil bireylerdeki duygusal stres ve bu duygusal stresin batı ve doğu toplumları ile karşılaştırılması üzerine birkaç çalışma bulunmakla birlikte, daha önce ülkemizde fertil olan ve olmayan kadınlar arasında bir karşılaştırma yapılmamıştır. Biz burada, Türkiye'nin güneydoğusunda yaşayan infertil kadınlar ve yüksek fertiliteye sahip kadınların vücut algısını karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntem: Bu çalışmaya, 67 tane infertil olan ve 59 tane yüksek fertiliteye sahip kadın (5 taneden fazla çocuğu olan kadınlar) alındı. Her iki gruba da Vücut Algısı Ölçeği uygulandı. Yaş, sigara içme durumu gibi bazı sosyodemografik bilgiler ve infertilite süreçlerinde zorluk yaşanan durumlar değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Vücut Algısı Ölçeği skorlarının cinsel güç de dâhil olmak üzere yüksek fertiliteye sahip kadınlarda anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğunu gösterdik. Vücut algısı, çocukların cinsiyetiyle ilişkili değildi. İnfertil grubun yüksek fertiliteye sahip gruba göre daha az sigara içtiği bulundu. Sonuç: Sonuçlar, vücut algısının infertiliteden olumsuz etkilendiğini ve özellikle kendisinden yüksek oranda çocuk sahibi olması beklenen toplumlarda yüksek doğurganlıktan olumlu etkilendiğini ortaya koymaktadır.
