Abstract

Different attitudes towards infertility cause different kinds of emotional disorders. In different cases researchers reported impulsive behavior, depression, inability, anxiety, phobia and negative beliefs in infertile women. The present research deals with the effects of infertility and its impression on sexual disorders and wife abuse of unproductive married women of Mashhad. A descriptive and comparative-scientific method of research was used for this study. In May and June of 2009, 200 females (100 fertile and 100 infertile) were randomly chosen from the clients of the medical clinics of obstetricians. Through achieving their consent, they were asked to fill a questionnaire of violence in families, disorders and sexual satisfaction. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Also, t, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and variance were calculated and analyzed. Findings showed that infertile women receive more mental, physical and economic violence than fertile ones, whereas there is no meaningful correlation between any kinds of wife abuse with sexual disorders of infertile women. Also, there is no meaningful correlation between the fertility of women and their educational ranks. Infertility of women can cause different kinds of sexual disorders which expose them to mental, physical and economic violence by their husbands.
