Öz:
Amaç: İnfertilite kliniğine başvuran çiftlerde algılanan sosyal dışlanma, aile tutum ve cinsellik algısının saptanması amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntemler: 2014 ve 2015 yılları arasında infertilite kliniklerine başvuran infertil çiftlerden, infertilite ile ilişkili sosyal dışlanma, ailelerinin tutumu ve cinsellik algıları ile ilgili sorular içeren değerlendirme formalarını doldurmaları istendi. İnfertil çiftlerden çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden her bireye değerlendirme formu verildi. İnfertilite ile ilişkili parametreler, demografi bilgileri ve soru formlarından elde edilen skorları değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Toplamda 598 infertil kişi çalışma içerisinde yer aldı, katılan bu kişilerin %58’i 177 çifti temsil etmekte idi. Primer infertilite %98,3 olup evlilik ve infertilite süreleri sırası ile 9,81±5,58 ve 9,76±5,53 yıl idi. Sosyal dışlanma algısı %38’inde (p<0,001) mevcut olup bu algı kadın partnerlerde daha belirgin idi (p=0,013). İnfertil kişilerin %15’i kendisinin toplumda izole edilmiş ve toplum içinde değer kaybettiğini ifade etmekte idi (p<0,001). Ancak, infertil kişilerin %60’ı bebekten sonra toplumda saygın bir yer edineceğini düşünmekte idi (p<0,001). İnfertil kişilerin sadece %13’ü infertiliteyi boşanma nedeni olarak kabul etmekte idi (p<0,001). Büyük çoğunluğu infertil kadın veya erkeğin cinsel cazibesini kaybetmeyeceği görüşündeydi (%86; p<0,001). Sonuç: İnfertilitenin sosyal dışlanma, aile tutumu ve cinsellik algısı açısından belirgin olumsuz etkileri olabilmektedir.
