Abstract:

Objective: To study the relationship between mental resilience and the reproductive quality of life in patients with asthenospermia. Methods: A total of 198 patients with asthenospermia who were admitted to our Reproductive Medicine Center from May 2021 to October 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method, General data questionnaire, Chinese version of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) and fertility quality of life (FertiQoL) were used, and SPSS 26.0 software was used to analyze their mental resilience, reproductive quality of life and their correlation. Results: The total score of mental resilience and FertiQoL of 198 asthenospermia patients were (66.41±12.99) points and (64.73±11.04) points, respectively. There were significant differences in the FertiQoL scores of asthenospermia patients with or without biological children, different time of diagnosis of infertility, different years of treatment for infertility, or with different sources of fertility pressure(all P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the having biological children and different sources of fertility stress were two important factors influencing FertiQoL score in asthenospermia patients (all P<0.05), which could explain 28.8% of total variation (R2=0.288, adjusted R2=0.269, F=15.534, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the total mental resilience of asthenospermia patients was positively correlated with the total score of FertiQoL (r=0.479, P<0.001). The level of mental resilience would affect the reproductive quality of life of patients. Conclusions: The mental resilience of asthenospermia patients is positively correlated with the quality of reproductive life, and the mental resilience and the quality of reproductive life are in the middle level. We should pay attention to the psychological problems of infertility patients, and to formulate corresponding nursing interventions, so as to improve the quality of reproductive life of infertility patients.
