The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between quality of life, anxiety, and depression in female patients with infertility. This was a cross-sectional study with 89 women with infertility. Patients completed a questionnaire that included demographic data, the FertiQoL scale, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The average total FertiQoL score was 66.0 ± 14.5. There were negative correlations between the treatment and core FertiQoL scores and the Hospital Anxiety-Depression subscale scores. The attempted conception duration was negatively correlated with the total and core (emotional, mind-body, and social subscales) scores of the FertiQoL. The number of in vitro fertilizations was negatively correlated with the total, core (mind-body subscale), and treatment (tolerability subscale) scores of the FertiQoL. In conclusion, infertility significantly reduces quality of life in women by increasing their anxiety and depression levels. Thus, healthcare professionals should consider quality of life with a holistic approach when examining and treating women with infertility.
本研究的目的是探讨女性不孕症患者的生活质量、焦虑和抑郁之间的关系。这是一项针对89名不孕女性的横断面研究。患者完成了一份问卷，其中包括人口统计学数据、生育生活质量（FertiQoL）量表和医院焦虑抑郁量表。FertiQoL量表的平均总分是66.0±14.5。治疗和FertiQoL量表核心得分与医院焦虑抑郁量表子量表得分之间存在负相关。尝试受孕时间与FertiQoL量表的总分及核心得分（情感、身心和社会子量表）呈负相关。体外受精次数与FertiQoL量表的总分、核心得分（身心子量表）及治疗得分（耐受性子量表）呈负相关。总之，不孕症会通过增加女性的焦虑和抑郁水平，显著降低其生活质量。因此，医疗保健专业人员在检查和治疗不孕女性时，应采用整体方法考虑生活质量。
