Abstract

Objective: Pelvic inflammatory disease is a chronic disease and a common infection in women which is associated with significant complications. This study aimed to compare cognitive abilities and personality traits in infertile women with and without pelvic inflammatory disease.
Method: The research method was causal-comparative and the sample of research included 48 infertile women with pelvic inflammatory disease and 57 infertile women without the pelvic inflammatory disease, who were referred to Al-Zahra Hospital in Rasht in 2021 and were selected through the convenience sampling method. The research instruments were a demographic checklist, the Cognitive Ability Questionnaire (Nejati, 2013), and the Neo Personality Questionnaire (McCrae & Costa, 1985). Research data were analyzed using the Mann-whitney test and multivariate variance analysis.
Results: The results showed that there was no difference between infertile women with and without pelvic inflammatory disease in cognitive abilities and personality traits (p >0.05). But there was a significant difference between four of the seven components of cognitive ability (memory; P<0.05, U= 899.00, inhibitory control and selective attention; P<0.05, U= 933.00, decision-making; P<0.05, U= 863.500, and sustained attention; P<0.05, U= 924.500), the total score of the cognitive ability variable (P<0.05, U= 815.000), and openness in both upper and lower levels of education (P <0.05, U= 907.50).
Conclusion: Infertility with causes of inflammatory and non-inflammatory did not lead to cognitive dysfunction and differences in personality traits but education as a potentially influential variable can play a crucial role, which needs further research.

Abstract [Persian]

مقدمه: بیماری التهابی لگن یک بیماری مزمن و عفونت شایع در زنان است که با عوارض قابل توجهی همراه است. نقش مشکلات شناختی و شخصیتی در ابتلا و تشدید علائم بسیاری از بیماری‌های مزمن تایید شده است. هدف پژوهش حاضر مقایسه توانایی‌های شناختی و صفات شخصیتی در زنان نازای با و بدون بیماری-های التهابی لگن بود. روش: پژوهش حاضر از نوع علی مقایسه‌ای بود و نمونه پژوهش، شامل 48 زن نازا به علت بیماری التهابی لگن و 57 زن نازا بدون بیماری التهابی لگن بود که به بیمارستان الزهرا رشت در سال 1400 مراجعه کرده و به صورت در دسترس انتخاب شدند. ابزارهای پژوهش شامل سیاهه جمعیت شناختی، پرسشنامه توانایی شناختی نجاتی (1392) و پرسشنامه شخصیتی نئو (مک کری و کوستا، 1985) بود. داده‌های پژوهش با استفاده از روش یومن ویتنی و تحلیل واریانس چند متغیری تجزیه و تحلیل شد. یافته‌ها: نتایج پژوهش نشان داد که بین زنان نازای با و بدون بیماری التهابی لگن در توانایی‌های شناختی و صفات شخصیتی تفاوت وجود ندارد (05/0<P )، ولی بین چهار مؤلفه از هفت مؤلفه توانایی شناختی (حافظه؛ P<0.05، 00/899 U= ، کنترل و بازداری توجه انتخابی؛ P<0.05، 00/933 U=، تصمیم گیری؛ P<0.05،500/863 U=.و توجه پایدار؛ P<0.05،500/924 U= ، نمره کل متغیر توانایی شناختی (P<0.05،000/815 U =)، و باز بودن(P <0.05،500/907 U=) در دو سطح تحصیلی بالا و پایین تفاوت معناداری به دست آمد. نتیجه‌گیری: نازایی با دلایل التهابی و غیرالتهابی منجر به نقص در عملکرد شناختی و تفاوت صفات شخصیت نشده ولی تحصیلات به عنوان یک متغیر تاثیر گذار احتمالی می‌تواند نقش ایفا کند که این مسئله نیاز به تحقیق بیشتری دارد.
