Abstract

Purpose: Infertility, a global health challenge, often leads to stigma for affected women. This stigma brings negative impacts to infertile women, and is influenced by several factors. Research to date treats infertile women as a homogeneous group based on their stigma. We attempted to identify subgroups based on their stigma and explored variables associated with subgroups.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was utilized, involving 439 infertile women. General information questionnaire, Infertility Stigma Scale, Perceived Social Support Scale, and the Chinese version of the Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale were used. Latent profile analysis was performed to categorize potential stigma profiles in infertile women. Multinomial logistic regression analysis was employed to explore the influencing factors of stigma among infertile women in different latent profiles.

Results: 439 infertile women were divided into three stigma profiles: low stigma level-light public stigma group (41.5%), medium stigma level-light public stigma group (48.0%) and high stigma level-deep public stigma group (10.5%). Multinomial logistic regression showed that education level, per capita family income status, duration of infertility, duration of infertility treatments, perceived social support, and self-efficacy were the influencing factors of stigma in three latent profiles.

Conclusion: Stigma in infertile women can be divided into three potential profiles, which had obvious classification characteristics. In these different latent profiles, there are differences in education level, per capita family income, duration of infertility, duration of infertility treatments, perceived social support, and self-efficacy. Social withdrawal is a common and severe issue faced by infertile women. Additionally, infertile women with high stigma levels often suffer from more severe public stigma.

不孕症妇女病耻感的潜在特征分析及其影响因素。
目的:不孕症是一项全球健康挑战,常常导致受影响妇女蒙受耻辱。这种耻辱给不孕妇女带来了负面影响,并受到几个因素的影响。迄今为止的研究将不育妇女视为一个同质群体,基于她们的耻辱。我们试图根据他们的病耻感来确定亚群,并探索与亚群相关的变量。方法:采用横断面研究设计,纳入439名不孕妇女。采用一般信息问卷、不孕症耻感量表、感知社会支持量表和中文版不孕症自我效能感量表。对不孕症妇女的潜在柱头特征进行了潜在分析。采用多项logistic回归分析探讨不同潜伏型不孕症妇女耻辱感的影响因素。结果:439名不孕症妇女被分为低污名-轻度公开污名组(41.5%)、中污名-轻度公开污名组(48.0%)和高污名-重度公开污名组(10.5%)。多元logistic回归结果显示,教育程度、家庭人均收入状况、不孕持续时间、不孕治疗持续时间、感知到的社会支持和自我效能感是耻辱感的影响因素。结论:不孕症妇女耻感可分为三种潜在的特征,具有明显的分类特征。在这些不同的潜在特征中,存在教育水平、家庭人均收入、不孕持续时间、不孕治疗持续时间、感知社会支持和自我效能感的差异。社会退缩是不孕妇女面临的一个普遍而严重的问题。此外,耻辱程度高的不育妇女往往遭受更严重的公众耻辱。
