Research objective: To examine the perception of female infertility in public, differences in perception based on place of residence, marital status, educational level, and diagnosed infertility, and to investigate the correlation between infertility perception and the age of the participants. Research design: Cross-sectional study. Participants and methods: A total of 202 female participants voluntarily took part in the study. The research was conducted anonymously by distributing an online questionnaire in May 2023. It took approximately 5 to 8 minutes to complete the questionnaire. Results: Participants living in urban areas significantly perceive infertility as a social problem (P=0.006). Participants with higher education degree compared to those with university degree (P=0.04) are far more likely to believe that women facing infertility are subjected to abuse by their partners. Participants with secondary school education compared to those with university degree (P=0.009) are far more likely to believe that women suffering from infertility should undergo assisted reproductive procedures. Participants who have been unable to conceive in the last 12 months without a diagnosed infertility are far more likely to believe that infertility negatively affects partner relationships compared to those with a diagnosed infertility (P=0.01). Older participants are less likely to perceive infertility as the inability to conceive after a year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse (P=0.005), less likely to consider women with infertility problems as depressed with reduced self-esteem (P=0.01), and less likely to view the social stigma of infertility as expected (P=0.03). Conclusion: The results indicate the need to increase public awareness about infertility to minimize negative prejudices and stigma, and to reduce the impact of infertility on families and women’s mental health.
