Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between psychological acceptance, self-compassion and hope in infertile women.

Background: Infertility distress can make women more vulnerable than men. Acceptance, self-compassion and hope can help infertile women to alleviate their distresses and to peruse the medical treatments.

Methods: This study was performed using a cross-sectional descriptive correlational design; A total of 346 women with primary infertility referred to infertility centres of Yazd, Isfahan and Kerman provinces, Iran, participated in the study by completing the self-compassion scale, hope scale and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II (AAQ-II). Data were analysed using structural equation analysis.

Results: The results of structural equation analysis showed that the path coefficient of self-compassion on acceptance (r = .69, p < .01) and hope (r = .29, p < .05) in infertile women was direct and significant. Acceptance also had a direct effect on hope in infertile women (r = .31, p < .05) and played a significant mediating role in the relationship between self-compassion and hope in infertile women.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that self-compassion is likely to be an important strategic intervention alongside medical treatments for infertile women, because it leads to problem acceptance and then increases hope in them.

不孕妇女的接受、自我同情和希望之间的关系：结构方程分析。

目的本研究旨在确定不孕妇女的心理接受、自我同情和希望之间的关系。背景生育困难会使女性比男性更容易受到伤害。接受、自我同情和希望可以帮助不孕妇女减轻痛苦并仔细阅读治疗方法。方法本研究采用横断面描述性相关设计；伊朗亚兹德省、伊斯法罕省和克尔曼省不孕不育中心共有346名原发性不孕妇女参加了这项研究，她们完成了自我同情量表、希望量表和接受与行动问卷II（AAQ-II）。使用结构方程分析对数据进行分析。结果结构方程分析结果表明，不孕妇女自我同情对接受（r=.69，p<0.01）和希望（r=.29，p<0.05）的路径系数是直接和显著的。接受对不孕妇女的希望也有直接影响（r=.31，p<.05），并在不孕妇女的自我同情和希望之间的关系中发挥了重要的中介作用。结论：研究结果表明，自我同情可能是不孕妇女治疗的一项重要战略干预措施，因为它能让她们接受问题，然后增加对她们的希望。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
