doi:10.12280/gjszjk.20230486

Abstract

Abstract:

Fertility Quality of Life Questionnaire (FertiQoL) is a specific scale to measure the quality of life in infertile population. The decline of fertility quality of life will affect the treatment enthusiasm and treatment compliance of infertile population, thus affecting the outcome of assisted pregnancy. A large number of studies have shown that all modules and dimensions of the quality of life of infertile people are impaired, and that there is no unified conclusion on the influencing factors and the influence degree of different dimensions. It is clear that the impaired quality of life of infertile population is different in China and abroad. The treatment FertiQoL is more seriously damaged in Chinese infertile people, while the core FertiQoL is more seriously damaged in foreign infertile people. Social support and psychological resilience were the protective factors of FertiQoL, while anxiety, depression, alexithymia, reproductive stress and infertility stigma were negatively correlated with FertiQoL. In addition, general characteristics such as sex, age, place of residence, education level and duration of infertility are also important influencing factors. The present research is not enough about what interventions improving the quality of life of patients, and whether the clinical pregnancy rate can be improved after intervention.
