摘要

简介:不孕不育是一种影响男性和女性的医学状况,并可能导致个体的生物、心理、社会、精神和医学损害。这些夫妻或单身人士的生活质量是一个值得关注的问题。我们需要解决的问题是不孕症是否会影响生活质量。不孕不育的耻辱感是否会阻碍不孕女性过正常的生活?本研究探讨不孕耻辱感如何影响不孕女性的生活质量,以及感知到的社会支持是否减少了与耻辱感相关的压力,从而有助于提高印度不孕女性的生活质量。方法:来自查谟和克什米尔的被确定为目前或以前不育的参与者讨论了他们对生育耻辱的感受,他们与生育有关的社会支持的质量,以及他们的生育生活质量。只有302份完整的调查问卷来自351名被确定的个人,他们被给予了数据收集工具。采用结构方程模型(SEM)对数据进行处理。结果:不孕症耻辱感和认知社会支持对生育生活质量有直接或间接的影响。不孕症患者的生活质量因柱头而降低(β = -)。413, SE = 0.017, p≤0.01显著性水平,CI, 95%),这种联系部分介导了不育女性对社会支持的感知(β = 0.512, p≤0.01显著性水平,CI, 95%)。换句话说,可以说,不孕症耻辱的负面影响被感知到的社会支持和生育生活质量的提高所缓冲。此外,耻辱感与过去生育相关支持的整体质量呈负相关。讨论:研究结果证实,感知到的社会支持显著减轻了不孕相关耻辱感对不孕女性生育生活质量的负面影响,强调了情感和社会资源在减轻痛苦方面的关键作用。这些发现强调了鼓励支持性环境和干预措施的重要性,以提高经历不孕症耻辱的女性的生活质量。

Do perceived social support mitigate the influence of infertility stigma on fertility quality of life?

Introduction: Infertility is a medical condition that affects both males and females and can cause the individuals biopsychosocial, spiritual, and medical detriments. Quality of life among such couples or singles is a matter of concern. The question that we need to address is whether infertility affects the quality of life. Does the stigma associated with Infertility deter Infertile females from leading normal lives? This research explores how infertility stigma affects the quality of life of infertile females and whether perceived social support reduces the stress related to stigma thereby contributing to a better quality of life among females battling Infertility in India.

Methods: Participants from Jammu and Kashmir who identified as currently or previously infertile discussed their feelings about fertility stigma, the quality of their fertility-related social support, and their fertility quality of life. Only 302 fully complete questionnaires were obtained from the 351 identified individuals who were given data collection tools. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to treat data.

Results: It was seen that infertility stigma and perceived social support had an impact on fertility quality of life, either directly or indirectly. Infertility quality of life was reduced by stigma (β = -.413, SE = .017, p ≤ .01 level of significance, CI, 95%), and this link was partially mediated by infertile female's perceptions of social support (β = .512, p ≤ .01 level of significance, CI, 95%). In other words, it can be said that the negative effects of infertility stigma were buffered by perceived social support and improved fertility quality of life. Additionally, the sense of stigma was adversely linked with the overall quality of past fertility-related support.

Discussion: The findings of study confirms that perceived social support significantly mitigates the negative impact of infertility-related stigma on fertility quality of life among infertile females, highlighting the crucial role of emotional and social resources in mitigating distress. These findings emphasize the importance of encouraging supportive environment and interventions to enhance quality of life in females experiencing infertility stigma.
