Özet:

 The aim of this study is to examine the effects of infertility on quality of life and sexual life. This systematic review includes 11 studies conducted between 2018-2023 using keywords such as Infertility, Quality of life, Sexual life, Infertility and Sexual life, Infertility and Quality of life appropriate to the topic of this article. Google Academic, TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM, DergiPark; Science Direct, Taylor  Francis, Scopus databases were utilized. Following the exclusion and inclusion criteria, the studies were examined within the scope of systematic review. As a result of 11 studies examined in this systematic review, it was found that infertility had an impact on quality of life and sexual life. It has been determined that infertile couples feel inadequate due to social pressure, isolate themselves from social environments, and infertility causes conflicts between spouses. It has been found that, along with communication problems, it also causes sexual problems such as sexual dissatisfaction and low sexual desire between couples. The infertility process can lead to stress, anxiety, and emotional difficulties in sexual relationships. Therefore, it is important for couples struggling with infertility to seek psychological support and explore strategies to improve their quality of life, as well as to reconsider their sexual lives. In this systematic review process, fewer studies have been found regarding infertile men. In studies conducted on infertile couples, there has been more emphasis on infertile women. It is essential to make improvements in this regard.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı infertilitenin yaşam kalitesi ve cinsel yaşam üzerine etkilerinin incelenmesidir. Bu makalenin konusuna uygun olan İnfertilite, Yaşam kalitesi, Cinsel yaşam, İnfertilite ve Cinsel yaşam, İnfertilite ve Yaşam kalitesi gibi anahtar kelimeler kullanılarak 2018-2023 tarihleri arasında yapılmış çalışmalar kullanılmıştır. Google Akademik, TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM, DergiPark; Science Direct, Taylor  Francis, Scopus veri tabanları kullanılmıştır. Bu taramalar sonucu dışlama ve dahil etme kriterleri göz önünde bulundurularak 11 çalışma sistematik derleme kapsamında incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma sonucunda, infertilitenin çiftlerin yaşam kalitesi ve cinsel yaşamı üzerine olumsuz etkisi olduğu bulunmuştur. İnfertil çiftlerin toplum baskısıyla kendilerini yetersiz hissettikleri, sosyal ortamlardan kendilerini izole ettikleri ve infertilitenin eşler arasında çatışmalara sebebiyet verdiği saptanmıştır. İletişim sorunlarıyla beraber çiftler arasında cinsel tatminsizlik ve düşük cinsel istek gibi cinsel sorunlara da yol açtığı bulunmuştur. İnfertilite süreci cinsel ilişkilerde stres, kaygı ve duygusal zorluklara neden olabilir. Bu nedenle, infertilite ile mücadele eden çiftlerin psikolojik destek almaları ve yaşam kalitelerini iyileştirecek stratejileri aramaları önemlidir, ayrıca cinsel yaşamlarını da gözden geçirmeleri önerilir. Bu sistematik derleme sürecinde, infertil erkekler ile ilgili yapılan çalışmalara daha az rastlanmıştır. İnfertil çiftler üzerinde yapılan araştırmalarda ise infertil kadınlara daha fazla vurgu yapılmıştır. Bu konuda geliştirmeler yapılması önemli bir gerekliliktir.
