本研究旨在确定不孕女性在生活中所面临的耻辱感和绝望感，以及她们应对这些问题的方式。在许多文化中，怀孕和为人父母被视为人生的重要转折点，但生育能力不足往往会导致社会耻辱。不孕女性还会体验到焦虑、抑郁和绝望等负面情绪，因此寻找应对不孕的方法对于稳定感非常重要。这项横断面研究共纳入了 278 名于 2017 年 12 月至 2018 年 4 月期间在伊斯坦布尔大学医院妇产科生殖内分泌科就诊的不孕女性。研究采用不孕耻辱感量表（ISS）、贝克绝望量表（BHS）和应对方式问卷（COPE）收集数据。ISS 得分为 47.54 ± 18.60，BHS 得分为 3.81 ± 2.87，COPE 问题聚焦应对分量表得分为 37.47 ± 8.42，COPE 情绪聚焦应对分量表得分为 47.95 ± 6.28，COPE 非功能应对分量表得分为 37.63 ± 6.18。研究结果显示，不孕女性经历了轻度的耻辱感和最小程度的绝望感。确定不孕女性更倾向于使用宗教应对策略，这是一种情绪聚焦应对方式。
