Relationships among type-D personality, fatigue, and quality of life in infertile women
Abstract
Purpose: The objective of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of the type D personality and identify the relationship between type D personality, fatigue and quality of life (QoL) in infertile women.
Methods: A total of 149 infertile women were recruited between October 2020 and January 2021. The participants were assessed through self-administered questionnaires using the type- D Personality Scale-14, Fatigue Severity Scale, and Fertility QoL Instrumental Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the independent t-test, chi-square test, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple regression analysis using the SPSS/WIN 25.0 program for Windows.
Results: Approximately 40.9% of infertile women were classified into the type D personality group, which showed significantly higher fatigue and lower QoL than the non-type D personality group. Fatigue was the most influential factor on the QoL of infertile women (β=-.23, p=.003), followed by the duration of infertility treatment (β=-.22, p=.003), type D personality (β=-.18, p=.025), and relationship with spouse (β=-.17, p=.024). These variables account for approximately 22% of the variance.
Conclusions: Intervention programs that consider fatigue, type D personality, relationship with spouses, and treatment duration may be useful for improving QoL in infertile women.
