This study aimed to examine the quality of life and the factors that determine the quality of life of infertile couples.
The research was conducted as a cross-sectional study at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic "Narodni Front" in Belgrade, the Special Gynecology Hospital "Ferona" in Novi Sad, the Special Hospital for the Treatment of Sterility and In Vitro Fertilization "Spebo Medikal" in Leskovac and the General Hospital in Valjevo, Serbia in 2022, on a sample of 378 infertile couples. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire, the integral part of which is the standardized FertiQoL scale. Independent -test and one-way ANOVA were used to determine differences. A value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Women achieve a significantly lower score on the quality of life questionnaire (69.34±11.05) compared to men (73.96±9.87). Women exhibit significantly lower scores in the area of physical, emotional and social functioning (<0.05). Men who live in the countryside show a lower quality of life score in the emotional (=0.029) and social (=0.042) domains. In addition, men over 40 years of age and with a high level of education have a lower quality of life (=0.08).
Women have a lower quality of life, as do men from rural areas and over 40 years of age. A multi-disciplinary approach and community education, as well as the provision of social support with a special emphasis on emotional and material support, would significantly contribute to improving the quality of life of infertile couples.
本研究旨在调查不孕夫妇的生活质量及其影响因素。
该研究于2022年在塞尔维亚贝尔格莱德的“国民阵线”妇产科诊所、诺维萨德的“费罗纳”妇科专科医院、莱斯科瓦茨的“斯波博医疗”不孕不育与体外受精专科医院以及瓦尔耶沃综合医院开展，为横断面研究，样本为378对不孕夫妇。数据通过问卷调查收集，问卷的主要部分是标准化的生育生活质量（FertiQoL）量表。采用独立样本t检验和单因素方差分析来确定差异。P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
与男性（73.96±9.87）相比，女性在生活质量问卷上的得分显著更低（69.34±11.05）。女性在生理、情感和社会功能领域的得分显著更低（P<0.05）。居住在农村的男性在情感领域（P=0.029）和社会领域（P=0.042）的生活质量得分较低。此外，40岁以上且受教育程度高的男性生活质量较低（P=0.08）。
女性的生活质量较低，农村地区以及40岁以上男性的生活质量也较低。多学科方法和社区教育，以及提供社会支持，特别是情感和物质支持，将显著有助于提高不孕夫妇的生活质量。
