Introduction: Infertility is a painful and emotionally stressful
life crisis due to the processes performed in the infertility treatment
process. Couples can cause problems in marriage relations, sexual dysfunctions
and couple relationships by forcing stress coping skills and social support
resources in this process. This study was conducted to evaluate the
sexual function status and the couple match level of women that have
infertility problems. Method: 169 infertile women, who were applied to
the IVF center of an educational research hospital in Izmir, were accepted in
the sample set of the study that is descriptive and relational type Data were
collected by the Golombock-Rust Inventory Sexual Satisfaction-Female Form
(GRISS) and the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) with face-to-face interviews of
infertile women. Mann Whitney U, Kruskal Wallis test and correlation analysis
were used in data analysis. Results: The mean age of women was 29,8 ±
3,0 years and the mean marriage duration was 5,3±2,2 years. 54,4% of them were
high school graduates, 57,4% of them were not working, 41,4% of them did not
know the cause of infertility and 85,2% of them were primary infertile. The
total DAS score of women was 91,2±19,4 and the total GRISS score was 5,3±1,4.
In the study, a negative significant correlation was found at medium level
between the total DAS score and GRISS score of infertile women participated in
the study (r=-0,65, p=0,00). However a significant correlation between the
marriage duration of the women and the duration of requesting the children and
GRISS and DAS total score was found, there was difference only between the
total DAS score regarding the type of infertility and its cause. Conclusion: It was
found in this study that women, who had infertility diagnosis, experienced
sexual dysfunction fewer as their couple adjustment increases. Health
professionals at any stage of health service should evaluate the family
holistically not only the woman that effected by the infertility. They should
make right overtures about revealing effect of infertility on couples and their
sexual life.
