Abstract

Objective: It is known that the risk of anxiety disorders and depression in infertile women increases and their quality of life deteriorates. Temperamental characteristics are considered as predictors of mood disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate temperamental characteristics ininfertile women and their effects on depression and anxiety levels, and the quality of life, and toreveal the differences and level of relationship compared to healthy women.Method: Fourty-four female patients with primary infertility and 30 healthy female controls wereincluded in this study. Temperamental characteristics of the participants were assessed withTemperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego-Autoquestionnaire version(TEMPS-A). Depression and anxiety severity were evaluated with Beck Depression Inventory(BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). To evaluate the quality of life, Short Form 36 (SF-36)health survey questionnaire was also applied.Results: Hyperthymic temperament scores were higher in infertile women than the control group (p=0.001). BDI scores were positively correlated with depressive and cyclothymic temperament scores, and BAI scores were positively correlated with depressive and anxious temperament scores. A negative correlation was found between hyperthymic temperament and BAI andBDI scores. Hyperthymic temperament scores were positively correlated with both physical andmental subdimension scores of the quality of life scale.Conclusion: In this study, hyperthymic temperament in infertile women was shown to be protective against anxiety and depression and it also improves the quality of life. Additional studiesare needed to clarify the relationship between hyperthymic temperament and ovarian hormonesor other biological parameters.

Özet

Amaç: İnfertil kadınlarda anksiyete bozuklukları ve depresyon riskinin arttığı ve yaşam kalitesinin bozulduğu bilinmektedir. Mizaç özellikleri ise duygudurum bozukluklarının öngörücüsü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı infertil kadınlardaki mizaç özelliklerini ve depresyon, anksiyete düzeyi ile yaşam kalitesi üzerine etkilerini inceleyerek, sağlıklı kadınlara göre farklarının ve ilişki düzeyinin ortaya koyulmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya primer infertilite tanısı almış 44 kadın hasta ve 30 sağlıklı kadın kontrol dahil edildi. Katılımcıların mizaç özellikleri, Memphis, Pisa, Paris ve San Diego Mizaç Değerlendirme Anketi (TEMPS-A) ile değerlendirildi. Depresyon ve anksiyete şiddeti Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDE) ve Beck Anksiyete Envanteri (BAE) ile değerlendirildi. Ayrıca yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için Kısa Form 36 (SF-36) yaşam kalitesi ölçeği uygulandı. Bulgular: İnfertil kadınlarda hipertimik mizaç özellikleri kontrol grubuna göre daha yüksekti (p=0,001). BDE puanları depresif ve siklotimik mizaç puanları ile pozitif, BAE puanları ise depresif ve anksiyöz mizaç puanları ile pozitif korelasyon gösterdi. Hipertimik mizaç ile BAE ve BDE puanları arasında negatif korelasyon bulundu. Hipertimik mizaç puanları, yaşam kalitesi ölçeğinin hem fiziksel hem de zihinsel alt boyut puanları ile pozitif korelasyon gösterdiği saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada infertil kadınlarda hipertimik mizaçın anksiyete ve depresyondan koruyucu olduğu; yaşam kalitesini arttırdığı gösterilmiştir. Hipertimik mizaç ile ovaryan hormonlar ya da biyolojik parametreler arasındaki ilişkinin aydınlatılması için ek çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.
