چکیده

هدف اصلی این پژوهش تبیین شاخص‌های سازگاری با ناباروری بر اساس کیفیت رابطه و باورهای زوجین و حمایت اجتماعی بود. تعداد 100 زوج نابارور (100 زن، 100 مرد) از میان کسانی که به مرکز درمان ناباروری رویان در تهران مراجعه کرده بودند و برای اولین بار تحت درمان نابارور قرار گرفته بودند، در این پژوهش شرکت کردند. از شرکت کنندگان خواسته شد تا مقیاس سازگاری با بیماری (AIS)، پرسشنامه وضعیت زناشویی گلومبوک- راست (GRIMS)، مقیاس ارزیابی باورهای شخصی (SPB) و مقیاس چند بعدی حمایت اجتماعی ادراک شده (MSPSS) را تکمیل کنند. نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که بین مشکلات زناشویی و سازگاری با ناباروری رابطه منفی وجود دارد. هم‌چنین بین باورهای غیرمنطقی و سازگاری با ناباروری رابطه منفی و بین حمایت اجتماعی و سازگاری با ناباروری رابطه مثبت وجود داشت. بین سطوح سازگاری زنان و مردان با ناباروری تفاوت معنادار مشاهده نشد. طبق نتایج پژوهش، سازگاری با ناباروری می‌تواند توسط شاخص‌های کیفیت رابطه زناشویی و باورهای شخصی زوجین و حمایت اجتماعی تبیین شود. بر اساس یافته‌های این پژوهش، اهمیت ویژگی‌های روانی- اجتماعی زوجین نابارور، همانند اقدامات معمول پزشکی، به منظور سازگاری بیشتر با ناباروری و ارتقای وضعیت سلامت روانی زوجین، مطرح می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

The main purpose of the present study was to explain adjustment to infertility indices in terms of relationship quality, couples' beliefs, and social support. A total of 100 couples (100 men, 100 women) participated in this study. Participants were asked to complete the Adjustment to Illness Scale (AIS), the Golombok Rust Inventory of Marital state (GRIMS), the Survey of Personal Beliefs (SPB), and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). The results showed a significant negative association between marital problems and adjustment to infertility. Irrational beliefs and social support showed negative and positive correlations with adjustment to infertility, respectively. No significant difference was shown between men and women in terms of adjustment to infertility. The results revealed that adjustment to infertility could be explained by indices of marital relationship quality, personal beliefs, and social support. Based on the results of the present investigation, the importance of psychosocial characteristics of infertile couples, as well as routine medical services, is suggested. This can lead the couples to more adjustment to infertility and improvement of their mental health state.
