Abstract:
Objective:To explore the classification characteristics of the resilience of infertile women, and to analyze the distribution differences of each category in demographic and disease-related variables such as education level and type of infertility.Methods:Using convenient sampling method and cross-sectional survey, 400 infertile women in the Reproductive Medicine Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were assessed with the scale CD-RISC-10 from September 2019 to December 2020. The potential categories of resilience were analyzed, and then multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the demographic and disease-related characteristics of different categories.Results:The resilience of infertile women can be divided into 3 potential categories: "low tenacity class" (group C1), "high tenacity class" (group C2) and "general resilience but low strength class" (group C3), accounting for 21.8% (87/400), 37.5% (150/400) and 41.8% (163/400) of the total respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there were significant differences in marriage duration type of infertility and the sense of fear or helplessness between group C1 and group C2 (<3.0 years vs. ≥7.0 years, P=0.019; P=0.045; P=0.015); there was a significant difference in marriage duration between group C1 and group C3 (<3.0 years vs. ≥7.0 years, P=0.039; 3.0-4.9 years vs. ≥7.0 years, P=0.024); there was a significant difference in education level between group C2 and group C3 (Junior high school or technical secondary school vs. Bachelor degree or above, P=0.003; Junior college vs. Bachelor degree or above, P=0.030). Conclusion:The resilience of infertile women has obvious sub category characteristics. There are differences in the distribution of education level, marriage duration type of infertility and the sense of fear or helplessness among different groups of infertile women. We should pay attention to the infertile women with low education level, short marriage time, primary infertility, strong sense of fear or helplessness, and adopt reasonable intervention to improve their resilience.
