Özet:

 Background: Infertility and its treatment can be complex, difficult, and uncomfortable, especially for women. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the quality of life and health literacy of women. Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of life and health literacy in women receiving infertility treatment and to determine the relationship between the two. Methods: The study, in which a descriptive design was used, was carried out with 186 women who received infertility treatment in Turkey between April 1 and June 30, 2022. Data were collected using a descriptive information form, the Fertility Quality of Life Questionnaire FertiQoL, and the Turkey Health Literacy Scale-32 THLS-32. Results: The mean scores of participants were 61.7316.71 on the total FertiQoL and 36.468.45 on the total THLS-32. The level of health literacy was inadequate in 7.5 of women, problematiclimited in 28.5, adequate in 31.7, and excellent in 32.3. There was no significant correlation between FertiQoL and THLS-32 scores p.05. Conclusions: In this study, it was determined that the quality of life and health literacy of women who received infertility treatment were not at the desired level.

 Giriş: İnfertilite ve tedavisi özellikle kadınlar için karmaşık, zor ve rahatsız edici olabilir. Bu nedenle kadınların yaşam kalitesinin ve sağlık okuryazarlığının değerlendirilmesi önemlidir. Bu çalışma infertilite tedavisi gören kadınlarda yaşam kalitesi ve sağlık okuryazarlığının değerlendirilmesi ve aralarındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Yöntemler: Tanımlayıcı desenin kullanıldığı çalışma, infertilite tedavisi gören 186 kadın ile gerçekleştirildi. Veriler; Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu, Doğurganlık Sorunu Yaşayan Kişiler İçin Hayat Kalitesi Ölçeği FertiQoL ve Türkiye Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği-32 TSOY-32 ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların toplam FertiQoL puan ortalaması 61.7316.71, TSOY-32 puan ortalaması ise 36.468.45 idi. Kadınların sağlık okuryazarlığı düzeyi 7.5inde yetersiz, 28.5inde sorunlusınırlı, 31.7sinde yeterli ve 32.3ünde mükemmel olduğu belirlendi. FertiQoL ile TSOY-32 puanları arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon yoktu p.05. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada infertilite tedavisi gören kadınların yaşam kalitesinin ve sağlık okuryazarlığının istenilen düzeyde olmadığı belirlendi. Kadınların yaşam kalitesi ile sağlık okuryazarlığı arasında ilişki olmadığı saptandı.
