To determine general attitudes of fertile and infertile women to oocyte donation in a Muslim and secular population.
The participants consisted of fertile women (n=133) who had at least one healthy living child spontaneously conceived without any fertility treatment and infertile women (n=133) who were diagnosed with primary infertility. Both groups were evaluated with charts comprised of 34 questions addressing demographic characteristics and the social aspects of oocyte and sperm donation.
Although the age of fertile women was significantly greater than infertile women, there was no significant difference in terms of duration of marriage, education level, or employment status between the two groups. Most of the women in each group reported that they did not have enough knowledge about oocyte donation to make a decision. Only 12% of fertile women and 18% of infertile women declared that they would have oocytes from another woman if they did not have or could not have a child (p=0.004). Only 9.0% of fertile women and 18.8% of infertile women declared that they would donate oocytes to anyone who is infertile (p=0.021).
Despite improvement in health care, most fertile and infertile women are still against oocyte donation. This situation may be related to the conservative leanings of Turkish society in recent decades.
确定在穆斯林和世俗人群中,有生育能力和不孕的女性对卵母细胞捐赠的总体态度。
参与者包括有生育能力的女性(n = 133),她们至少有一个通过自然受孕且未接受任何生育治疗而健康存活的孩子,以及被诊断为原发性不孕的不孕女性(n = 133)。两组均通过由34个问题组成的图表进行评估,这些问题涉及人口统计学特征以及卵母细胞和精子捐赠的社会方面。
尽管有生育能力的女性年龄显著大于不孕女性,但两组在婚姻持续时间、教育水平或就业状况方面没有显著差异。每组中的大多数女性报告说,她们对卵母细胞捐赠没有足够的了解来做出决定。只有12%的有生育能力的女性和18%的不孕女性表示,如果她们没有孩子或无法生育,她们会接受另一名女性的卵母细胞(p = 0.004)。只有9.0%的有生育能力的女性和18.8%的不孕女性表示,她们会向任何不孕的人捐赠卵母细胞(p = 0.021)。
尽管医疗保健有所改善,但大多数有生育能力和不孕的女性仍然反对卵母细胞捐赠。这种情况可能与近几十年来土耳其社会的保守倾向有关。
