Background: Studies in many regions of the world indicate that women bear the burden of infertility. Infertile couples are expected to be involved in various psychological and social problems. Social support may lessen the psychological pain of infertility in women. Also, violence and inequality against women are raised in such families. This research aims to survey domestic violence in women based on social support and marital satisfaction in infertile women in Tehran.
Methods: In this study in 2018, authorities randomly selected 130 infertile women for an interview in Avicenna infertility center in Tehran. After obtaining informed consent, participants completed a questionnaire. It included domestic violence against women, social support (MSPSS) and marital satisfaction (Enrich 47) questionnaires. Data and statistical analysis of the research hypotheses was performed using SPSS v22. Moreover, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Watson's camera statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, multivariate correlation coefficient and simultaneous multivariate regression analysis were used. The significance level was considered less than 0.05 and the confidence interval (CI) was 95%.
Results: In this study, the mean age of women was 31.63 (47-23) and the mean duration of the marriage was 0.50 (2-20). Two variables of social support and marital satisfaction predicted the domestic violence against women to be 0.388 (38.8%). Marital satisfaction had a significant effect on domestic violence against infertile women (p=0.001). The higher the marital satisfaction (T= -8.997, p= 0.001), the less would be the domestic violence against infertile women.
Conclusion: Findings showed that in infertile women, domestic violence is predictable with perceived social support and marital satisfaction.
