Abstract

Fertility treatments can be physically and psychologically exhausting for those who do it due to high expectations and possible frustration with the negative results. Moreover, it demands time and high financial investment, which are sometimes stressful factors for the working patient. Two aspects that can ease this context are resilience and social support. The present article aims to investigate the levels of work-family conflict in individuals undergoing infertility treatment and their associations with stress, resilience, and social support. The survey of 242 patients addressed sociodemographic data, Infertility-Related Stress Scale-Brazil (IRSS-BP), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10), Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS), and Work-Family Conflict Scale. Data were analyzed using R (4.3.2). Findings suggest that the level of Work-Family Conflict is higher in men (p = 0.020). The scale is also positively associated with Infertility Stress and negatively correlated with Resilience and Social Support.

接受不孕不育治疗的患者的工作与家庭冲突、与不孕不育有关的压力、复原力和社会支持之间的关系。

不孕不育治疗可能会让患者身心疲惫，因为他们对治疗抱有很高的期望，也可能会对治疗的负面结果感到沮丧。此外，治疗需要时间和高额的经济投入，这有时会给工作中的患者带来压力。抗压能力和社会支持是缓解这种情况的两个方面。本文旨在调查接受不孕不育治疗的患者中工作与家庭冲突的程度，以及它们与压力、抗压能力和社会支持的关系。对242名患者进行的调查涉及社会人口学数据、巴西不孕不育相关压力量表（IRSS-BP）、康纳-戴维森复原力量表10（CD-RISC 10）、感知社会支持量表（PSSS）和工作-家庭冲突量表。数据使用 R（4.3.2）进行分析。研究结果表明，男性的工作-家庭冲突水平更高（p = 0.020）。该量表还与不孕不育压力呈正相关，与复原力和社会支持呈负相关。
