The effect of stigma on level of ınfertility-related psychological distress in women with infertility
Özet
Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the effect of stigma on level of ınfertility-related psychological distress of women with
infertility. Descriptive study was conducted in infertility clinics in Turkey. This study was completed with 198 infertile women.
Infertility Distress Scale was 42.69±7.79, the mean total score of the Infertility Stigma Scale was 52.80±23.44. It was found that
the psychological effect of infertility increased among women as the Infertility Stigma Scale total scores and its sub-dimension
scores increased. Developing appropriate interventions by considering infertility and the level of being affected by stigma allows
women to cope with this process in a healthier way, which is thought to increase the success of women's treatment
