Abstract

Objective: Pelvic inflammatory disease is a common infection that can reduce family functioning by causing longterm complications such as chronic pelvic pain and infertility. This study aimed to compare
family functions in Infertile women with and without pelvic inflammatory disease.
Method: The research method was causal-comparative, and the participants included 48 infertile women with pelvic
inflammatory disease and 57 infertile women without pelvic inflammatory disease, referred to Al-Zahra Hospital
in Rasht in 2021. Based on the patients’ records and the diagnosis of the gynecologist, infertile women with pelvic
inflammatory disease (tubular factor) and infertile women without pelvic inflammatory disease (due to other causes)
were selected purposefully. A demographic checklist and McMaster Family Functioning Questionnaire were used to
collect data. Research data were analyzed using one-way and multivariate variance analysis.
Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the mean scores of emotional fusion in
infertile women with pelvic inflammatory disease and infertile women without pelvic inflammatory disease (P <
0.05). In addition, there was a significant difference in the two levels of high and low education in emotional control
and response and interaction between group and education components (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study and the importance of the emotional integration component in
women with infertility without pelvic inflammatory disease, this component can be used as a strength in these women
for more effective communication in married life and to reduce the negative effects of infertility and education should
be further examined as a possible influential variable.

Abstract [Persian]

مقدمه: بیماری التهابی لگن به‌عنوان یک عفونت شایع، با ایجاد عوارض طولانی مدت مانند درد مزمن لگن و ناباروری می‌تواند باعث کاهش کارکرد‌های خانواده در فرد شود. هدف این مطالعه، مقایسه کارکردهای خانواده در زنان مبتلا به نازایی با و بدون بیماریهای التهابی لگن بود. روش: پژوهش حاضر از نوع علی مقایسه-ای است و شرکت کننده‌ها شامل 48 زن مبتلا به نازایی با بیماری التهابی لگن و 57 زن مبتلا به نازایی بدون بیماری التهابی لگن از میان زنان مبتلا به نازایی مراجعه کننده به بیمارستان الزهراء رشت در سال 1400 بودند که بر اساس پرونده بیماران و تشخیص پزشک متخصص زنان، دارای نازایی با بیماری التهابی لگن(عامل لوله ای) و نازایی بدون بیماری التهابی لگن( ناشی از علل دیگر) به صورت هدفمند انتخاب شدند. برای جمع آوری داده‌ها، از چک لیست جمعیت شناختی و پرسشنامه کارکرد خانواده مک مستر استفاده شد. داده های پژوهش با تحلیل واریانس یک و چند متغیری تجزیه و تحلیل شد. یافته‌ها: نتایج نشان داد که تنها بین میانگین نمرات آمیختگی عاطفی در زنان نابارور با و بدون بیماری التهابی لگن تفاوت معناداری وجود دارد (05/0>P).همچنین در دو سطح تحصیلی بالا و پایین در پاسخگویی عاطفی و کنترل، و در اثر متقابل بین گروه و تحصیلات مولفه نقش دارای تفاوت معنادار بود(05/0>P). نتیجه‌گیری: با توجه به نتایج این پژوهش و اهمیت مولفه آمیختگی عاطفی در زنان مبتلا به نازایی بدون بیماری التهابی لگن این مولفه می‌تواند به عنوان یک نقطه قوت در این زنان در جهت ارتباط موثرتر در زندگی زناشویی به کار رود و اثرات منفی نازایی را کاهش دهد و تحصیلات نیز به عنوان یک متغیر تاثیرگذار احتمالی مورد بررسی بیشتر قرار گیرد.
