The fertility preparedness and affecting factor in women that undergoing fertility treatment.

It is a common problem in practice to stop and not continue the infertility treatment which has a long physical, emotional and financial burden. Although there are many reasons for this, it is stated that couples go from one treatment process to another without feeling ready about this. The aim of this study is to determine the fertility preparedness status of women undergoing fertility treatment and to determine the factors that affect it positively or negatively. It was descriptive and cross-sectional study conducted with 375 women in a virtual environment, regardless of the province, by using the Google survey method. The data were collected by using the 'Descriptive Information Form', 'Fertility Hitory Form', and 'Fertility Predperadness Scale for Women Receiving Fertility Support' measurement tools. Analysis of Variance, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis H Test were used in analysis process. The median of Fertility Predperadnes Scale (FPS) was 56 points (min23-max115), which was accepted as the cut-off value. A scale score below 56 indicates that the participant is not sufficiently ready for fertility treatment. In the present study, the mean score was X̄=83.01 (min 39-max115). Moostly of the participants (94.67%) were above the cut-off value. This showed us that 94.67% of women had a high level of preparedness. Factors such as; advancing age, prolongation of infertility, increase in the number of treatments, female infertility factor were neggative factors related to fertility prepardness. Besides increased education level, increased income, secondary infertility, feel less pressure from their families and being able to share with the social circle about the treatment were positive factors that increased the woman's prepareadness for treatment. Fertility prepareadiness; It has a very important place in starting and continuing fertility treatment. There are many factors that affect fertility prepreadiness. Being able to detect and intervene these factors will contribute to the fertility treatment success rate.If a woman/copule starts well prepared in this expensive and stressful treatment process financial loss may be prevented, the treatment success may be improved and discontinuation of treatment may decrease. It would be useful to measure the preparedness of women/couples by making evaluation in clinics before treatment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
