The aim of this study was to examine regret over the timing of the childbearing decision and reasons for its delay.
A cross-sectional study.
This cross-sectional study included 219 women and 169 men referred to fertility facilities in Japan from July-December 2018. Participants completed a questionnaire on the reasons for their delay in childbearing decision and the degree of regret regarding their decision. Multiple linear regression was used to analyse the association between degree of regret and the reasons for the delay.
The top three reasons for the delay in childbearing decision in women were "Establishing the relationship," "Health problems," and "Financial security." The top three reasons in men were "Establishing the relationship," "Financial security," and "Lack of fertility knowledge." Multiple linear regression showed that lack of fertility knowledge was associated with regret over the timing of childbearing decisions in women and men.
本研究旨在探讨对生育决定时机的遗憾以及延迟生育的原因。
横断面研究。
这项横断面研究纳入了2018年7月至12月间转诊至日本生育机构的219名女性和169名男性。参与者完成了一份关于延迟生育决定原因及对该决定的遗憾程度的问卷。采用多元线性回归分析遗憾程度与延迟原因之间的关联。
女性延迟生育决定的前三大原因是“建立关系”“健康问题”和“经济保障”。男性的前三大原因是“建立关系”“经济保障”和“缺乏生育知识”。多元线性回归显示,缺乏生育知识与女性和男性对生育决定时机的遗憾有关。
