Women undergoing infertility treatment may suffer infertility distress.
The aim of this study was to determine factors associated with infertility distress in women with infertility problems.
Women ( = 368) who received infertility treatment and agreed to participate in the study constituted the sample of this cross-sectional descriptive study. The participants filled out the "Descriptive Information Form on Women with Infertility" and the "Infertility Distress Scale (IDS)". The data analysis of the study was performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-20.0). The statistical significance was accepted to be < .05.
It was found out that the mean IDS score of women was 37.4 ± 9.96 (min: 21-max: 80). A significant difference was found between women's educational level, employment status, difficulty in taking time off work, economic situation, the person who paid for treatment expenses and cause of infertility and mean IDS scores ( < .05). No significant relationship was found between women's social security, family type, having children and previous infertility treatment and mean IDS scores ( > .05). A positive and statistically significant linear relationship was found between the IDS score and marriage duration, desiring time for a baby and duration of infertility treatment ( < .05).
The study revealed that the infertility distress level increased as the marriage duration, desiring time for a baby and the duration of infertility treatment of women admitted to the infertility clinic increased. Infertile women should be provided with care and support by considering these variables.
接受不孕治疗的女性可能会遭受不孕困扰。
本研究旨在确定与不孕问题女性不孕困扰相关的因素。
接受不孕治疗并同意参与本研究的女性（ = 368）构成了这项横断面描述性研究的样本。参与者填写了“不孕女性描述信息表”和“不孕困扰量表（IDS）”。研究的数据采用 SPSS-20.0 统计包进行分析。统计显著性被接受为 < .05。
发现女性的平均 IDS 得分为 37.4 ± 9.96（最小值：21-最大值：80）。女性的教育水平、就业状况、请假困难、经济状况、治疗费用支付人和不孕原因与平均 IDS 得分之间存在显著差异（ < .05）。女性的社会保障、家庭类型、子女状况和以前的不孕治疗与平均 IDS 得分之间没有显著关系（ > .05）。IDS 得分与婚姻持续时间、想要孩子的时间和不孕治疗持续时间之间存在正相关和统计学显著线性关系（ < .05）。
该研究表明，随着不孕诊所女性的婚姻持续时间、想要孩子的时间和不孕治疗时间的增加，其不孕困扰程度增加。应考虑这些变量为不孕女性提供护理和支持。
