Abstract

Amaç: Araştırma, infertil olan kadınlarda fertilite uyumu ile algılanan eş desteği arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Materyal ve Metot: İlişkisel, tanımlayıcı tipte olan bu araştırma, Aralık 2019 ile Eylül 2020 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’nin doğusunda yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın örneklemini, küme örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen beş Aile Sağlığı Merkezine kayıtlı infertil kadınlar oluşturmuştur (n=139). Veriler, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan Katılımcı Bilgi Formu, Fertilite Uyum Ölçeği (FUÖ) ve Eş Desteği Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Araştırmada kadınların FUÖ puan ortalaması 23.30±1.35, Eş Desteği Ölçeği puan ortalaması 65.41±10.41 bulunmuştur. Araştırmada fertilite uyumu ile eş desteği arasında yapılan korelasyon analizinde negatif, zayıf düzeyde anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuş ve regresyon analizinde eş desteği toplam, maddi destek ve takdir boyutunun fertilite uyumunu sırasıyla %11, %13 ve %10 oranında açıkladığı görülmüştür (p<0,001). Çalışmada eş desteğinin alt boyutlarından biri olan duygusal destek ile fertilite uyumu arasında istatistiksel olarak çok zayıf anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuş ve yapılan regresyon analizi sonucunda duygusal desteğin doğurganlık uyumunu %0,06 oranında açıkladığı görülmüştür. (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Çalışmada eş desteği arttıkça fertilite uyumunun arttığı ve yapılan ileri analizlerde eş desteğinin fertilite uyumunu %11 oranında açıkladığı görülmüştür.

Investigation of the Relationship between Fertility Adjustment and Spousal Support in Women with Infertility

Year 2022, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 128 - 33, 01.05.2022

Abstract

Aim: The study aims to determine the relationship between fertility adjustment and perceived spousal support in women with infertility.
Material and Methods: The correlational, descriptive type this research was conducted in eastern Turkey between December 2019 and September 2020. The study sample consisted of infertile women registered in five Family Health Centers, selected by cluster sampling method (n:139). The data were collected using the Participant Information Form prepared by researcher the Fertility Adjustment Scale (FAS), and the Spousal Support Scale. In addition to descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analyses were used in the data analysis.
Results: In the study, it was found that the mean score of women in the FAS was 23.30±1.35, and the mean score in the Spousal Support Scale was 65.41±10.41. In the correlation analysis performed between fertility adjustment and spousal support in the study, a negative, weak, but significant relationship was found, and the regression analysis showed that total spousal support, financial support, and appreciation dimension explains fertility adjustment by 11%, 13%, and 10%, respectively (p<0.001). In the study, it was found that there was a statistically very weak significant relationship between emotional support, which is one of the sub-dimensions of spousal support, and fertility adjustment, and the regression analysis showed that emotional support explains fertility adjustment by 0.06% (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In the study, it was found that fertility adaptation increases as spousal support increases, and the advanced analysis showed that spousal support explained fertility adjustment by 11%. It is recommended that counseling activities to be provided to couples should be enriched within this framework.
