Abstract

Aim: This research was conducted as a descriptive study to determine the marital adjustment differences between infertile and fertile women. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a city center in eastern Turkey between January 2017 and December 2017. No sample selection was made, all volunteer women were included in the study, and the study was conducted on 96 women in total, n=48 infertile, n=48 fertile women. The data were collected by snowball method using the questionnaire form prepared by the researchers and the marital adjustment scale (MAS). Evaluation of the data was carried out using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS 20.0) package program. Results: 37.5% of infertile women and 70.8% of fertile women state that they have a happy marriage, and women with a happy marriage are higher in the fertile group. 93.8% of the infertile group and 68.8% of the fertile group stated that it is necessary to have children for a happy marriage. While 54.2% of infertile women stated that they felt worthless, only 2.1% of fertile women stated that they felt worthless. Mean marital adjustment score of infertile women is 34.58±10.18, (min-max=0-60) mean score of marital adjustment scale of fertile women is 40.60±9.80, (min-max=0-60) is higher found. It was determined that the marital adjustment scale scores of the women included in the study were higher than those who received support from their spouses, did not receive support, those who had good communication with their spouses, those who did not have good communication, those whose spouses were interested in them, and those who did not receive attention from their spouses. Conclusions and Suggestions: In this study, it was determined that infertility brought along various problems in women's marriages. For this reason, it is recommended to increase supportive multidimensional studies that deal with the social and psychological dimensions of infertility.
