Year 2019, Volume: 9 Issue: 4, 117 - 123, 27.12.2019

Abstract

ÖZET
Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı; infertil ve fertil kadınların sosyokültürel ve ekonomik durumlarını karşılaştırmak,
bu etkilerin infertilite etyolojisindeki yerini belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Bozok Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi jinekoloji polikliniğine başvuran 64 infertil ve
65 infertil olmayan toplam 129 kadına anket uygulanmıştır. Bu anket yaş, meslek, eğitim ve gelir düzeyi
yanında aile tipi, ilişki sıklığı, infertilite süresi, ovulasyon zamanı farkındalığı ve stres düzeyini sorgulayan 16
sorudan oluşmaktadır.
Bulgular: İnfertil kadınların yaş ortalaması 27.8±5.2, kontrol grubunun 32.0±5.1 idi ve gruplar arasında istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı farklılık vardı (p<0.001). İnfertil kadınların ortalama evlilik süresi kontrol grubuna
göre anlamlı olarak daha düşük saptandı (p<0.001). İnfertil kadınların infertilite süresi ortalama 3.2±2.7 yıl
olarak bulundu. Aile tipi değerlendirildiğinde infertil grupta kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak daha fazla
oranda geniş aile yapısı mevcuttu (p=0.021). Katılımcıların ovulasyon zamanı farkındalığı infertil grupta istatistiksel
olarak anlamlı oranda daha yüksek saptandı (p=0.002).
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda özellikle yaşam tarzı geniş aile yapısında olanlarda, eğitim düzeyi ve gelir düzeyi düşük
olanlarda infertilitenin daha fazla görüldüğü tespit edilmiştir. Bu nedenle, yaşam tarzında yapılacak bazı
değişiklikler, eğitim düzeyinin ve gelir düzeyinin artışı infertilite sıklığında azalmaya neden olabilir.

ABSTRACT
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare sociocultural and economic status of infertile and fertile women
and to determine their role in etiology of infertility.
Material and Method: A questionnaire was applied to 64 infertile and 65 non-infertile totally 129 women
who were admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinic of Bozok University Faculty of Medicine. This
questionnaire consists of 16 questions that question age, job, education and financial status, family type,
frequency of sexual intercourse, duration of infertility, awareness of ovulation time and stress level.
Results: The mean age of infertile women was 27.8 ± 5.2 years, 32.0 ± 5.1 years in the control group, and
there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p<0.001). Mean duration of marriage
of infertile women was significantly lower than control group (p<0.001). The mean duration of infertility of
infertile women was 3.2 ± 2.7 years. When the family type was evaluated, infertile group had significantly
more extended family structure than the control group (p=0.021). Awareness of ovulation time was
significantly higher in the infertile group. (p=0.002).
Conclusion: In our study, it was found that infertility was more common especially in those with extended
family structure, low education level and low income level. Therefore, some changes in lifestyle, increase in
education and financial status may cause a decrease in the frequency of infertility.
