Sažetak
Neplodnost sa sobom nosi brojne izazove, a sama pomisao da se neće ostvariti kao roditelji može biti emocionalno opterećujuća za parove. Poznato je da partnerski odnos predstavlja primarni izvor socijalne podrške kod većine parova te može biti protektivan čimbenik prilikom suočavanja s problemom neplodnosti. Mnoga empirijska istraživanja ukazala su na značajan doprinos različitih čimbenika zadovoljstvu partnerskim odnosom, među kojima se ističu stabilnost veze/braka, prisnost, komunikacija, konflikti, seksualno zadovoljstvo i stres. Cilj ovog istraživanja je ispitati odrednice zadovoljstva partnerskim odnosom kod žena s problemom neplodnosti, kao i povezanost nekih karakteristika neplodnosti s aspektima kvalitete partnerskog odnosa i stresa specifičnog za neplodnost. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 155 žena s problemom neplodnosti. Uz korišteni jednokratni korelacijski nacrt, mjerni instrumenti primijenjeni u ovom istraživanju su: Upitnik percepcije kvalitete bračnog odnosa (UPKBO) i Upitnik problema neplodnosti (FPI). Rezultati su ukazali na značajno niže partnersko i seksualno zadovoljstvo te višu razinu stresa specifičnog za neplodnost u situaciji kada je od dijagnoze neplodnosti prošlo više od tri godine. Nadalje, nije utvrđena značajna razlika u pojedinim aspektima kvalitete partnerskog odnosa s obzirom na uzrok neplodnosti, dok je stres uslijed neplodnosti bio značajno izraženiji kod žena s neplodnosti muškog uzroka. Procjene za sve aspekte kvalitete partnerskog odnosa bile su više u situaciji kada žena nije imala dijete. Hijerarhijska regresijska analiza pokazala je da veća stabilnost veze/braka, prisnost, seksualno zadovoljstvo te uključenost u tretman između 2 i 3 godine predviđaju zadovoljstvo partnerskim odnosom kod žena s problemom neplodnosti. Bračni status je značajan prediktor partnerskog zadovoljstva, pri čemu neudane žene, u odnosu na udane, imaju značajno niže zadovoljstvo. Konflikti, komunikacija i stres specifičan za neplodnost nisu se pokazali prediktivnim za partnersko zadovoljstvo. Dobiveni nalazi ukazuju na važnost razvoja adekvatnih programa podrške ženama i njihovim partnerima u svrhu poboljšavanja odnosa i jačanja temeljnog sustava podrške u suočavanju s problemom neplodnosti.

Napomena
Infertility brings many challenges and the very
notion that they will not be fulfilled as parents
can be an emotional burden for some couples. It is
well known that partnership is the primary source
of social support for most couples and can be a
protective factor in dealing with the problem of
infertility. Many empirical studies have shown the
significant contribution of different factors to
the satisfaction of partner relationship, among
which the emphasis is on marital stability,
closeness, intimacy, communication, conflict,
sexual satisfaction and stress. The aim of this
study is to examine the determinants of
satisfaction with partner relationship in women
with infertility problems, as well as the
association of some characteristics of infertility
with aspects of the quality of partner
relationship and infertility-related stress. The
cross-sectional study included 155 women with
infertility problems. The measurement instruments
used in this study were: The Perceived Quality of
Marital Relationship Scale (UPKBO) and the
Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI). The results
indicated a significantly lower relationship and
sexual satisfaction and higher levels of
infertility-related stress in a situation where
infertility diagnosis lasted more than three
years. Furthermore, no significant difference was
found in some aspects of the quality of couple’s
relationship with regard to the cause of
infertility, while the infertility-related stress
was significantly more pronounced in women with
infertility due to the male cause. Estimates for
all aspects of the quality of partner relationship
were higher in the situation when a woman did not
have a child. The hierarchical regression analysis
has shown that higher levels of marital stability,
closeness, sexual satisfaction and involvement in
treatment between two and three years predicted
higher levels of relationship satisfaction in
women with infertility problems. Also, marital
status was a significant predictor of relationship
satisfaction, with unmarried women reporting lower
levels of satisfaction. Conflict, communication
and infertility-related stress were not predictive
for relationship satisfaction. The findings
suggest the importance of developing adequate
support programs for women and their partners in
order to improve relationships and strengthen the
basic support system in dealing with the problem
of infertility.
