چکیده: (1659 مشاهده)
The stressful experience of infertility is associated with a wide range of psychological
damage (1), so infertility affects people’s mental health and all aspects of an individual’s
life (2). Since women in the family are considered to be the main pillars of the community
and they are also more vulnerable to illnesses, therefore consideration of their health is
also very important (3). The objective of the current letter is investigating the mental
health status of infertile women and its related factors as predictors of mental health in
infertile women.
This is a descriptive study conducted on 100 infertile women referred to the
infertility treatment centers in Mazandaran province, North of Iran. The General Health
Questionnaire was provided to the infertile women. The questionnaire is a self-reporting
questionnaire that is used clinically to track those who are prepared for mental illness
(4).
Based on the findings, Total Scale of General Health Questionnaire was 33.18 ± 10.27
that was according to the cut-off point of 22, 85% of the infertile women in this study
are in the disorder condition. Also, in terms of subscales: physical complaints was 8.65
± 3.97, anxiety and insomnia was 8.69 ± 5.58, disruption of social function was 12.73
± 3.34, and depression was 3.10 ± 3.79. The most common disorder was related to
social disorder subscale and the least common subscale was related to the depression
disorder. The subscales of physical symptoms and sleep disturbance and anxiety are
ranked almost at one level, and they are classified between the two subscales that were
already mentioned.
Therefore, based on our findings and the level of women’s mental health, there is
a need for a psychologist or midwifery counselor in the infertility treatment centers to
improve the mental health of women. In addition, since the mental disease may also
affect the outcome of the treatment, attention to the mental health of infertile women is
really importance.
