Women undergoing infertility treatment have poor quality of life. This may cause them to withdraw from or refuse treatment. Women undergoing frozen embryo transfer have a treatment interval. The aim of this study was to investigate the status quo of the fertility quality of life in women undergoing frozen embryo transfer and analyse its predictors.
A cross-sectional survey was conducted from August 2019 to August 2020 among women undergoing frozen embryo transfer in a tertiary hospital reproductive centre in Beijing, China. The survey collected demographic characteristics and treatment data and included the fertility problem inventory, the fertility quality of life scale (FertiQoL) and the state-trait anxiety scale. Multiple linear stepwise regression was used to explore the predictors of fertility quality of life.
In total, 1062 women completed the survey. Participants reported that they had high levels of fertility-related stress and anxiety during treatment. They also had lower fertility-related quality of life, and the Treatment FertiQoL scored the lowest. The regression results showed that social concern, trait anxiety, duration of treatment and age were risk factors for diminished fertility quality of life.
Chinese women undergoing frozen embryo transfer have relatively poor quality of life. The potential predictors of fertility quality of life include social concern, trait anxiety, duration of treatment and age.
接受不孕症治疗的女性生活质量较差。这可能导致她们退出或拒绝治疗。接受冷冻胚胎移植的女性有一个治疗间隔期。本研究的目的是调查接受冷冻胚胎移植的女性生育生活质量的现状,并分析其预测因素。
于2019年8月至2020年8月在中国北京一家三级医院生殖中心对接受冷冻胚胎移植的女性进行横断面调查。该调查收集了人口统计学特征和治疗数据,并包括生育问题清单、生育生活质量量表(FertiQoL)和状态-特质焦虑量表。采用多元线性逐步回归来探索生育生活质量的预测因素。
共有1062名女性完成了调查。参与者报告称,她们在治疗期间有较高的生育相关压力和焦虑。她们的生育相关生活质量也较低,且治疗FertiQoL得分最低。回归结果显示,社会关怀、特质焦虑、治疗持续时间和年龄是生育生活质量下降的危险因素。
