Abstract To investigate the psychological sense of entrapment and the quality of infertile women with advanced age, and to analyze their correlation with the marital support coping of the women. Methods: From January to December 2023, 212 infertile women with advanced age who visited the reproductive center of the hospital were selected as the study subjects by convenience-sampling method. The general data questionnaire was used to investigate the general data of these women. The entrapment scale (ES), the fertile quality of life scale (Ferti-QOL) and the dyadic coping inventory (DCI) were used to evaluate the psychological sense of entrapment and the quality of reproductive life of the women, and the marital support coping level. Results: The scores of ES, FertiQOL and DCI of the infertile women with advanced age were 33.65±5.61 points, 70.97±12.61 points and 107.95±12.04 points, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that the ES score of the women was negatively correlated with their Ferti-QOL and DCI scores, and the Ferti-QOL score of the women was positively correlated with their DCI score (all P<0.05). Logistic multiple regression analysis showed that the advanced age, the childless, the longer duration of infertility and the low annual family income of the infertile women were the independent risk factors of their psychological sense of entrapment, while the moderate and above scores of Ferti-QOL and DCI of the infertile women were the protective factors of their psychological sense of entrapment (all P<0.05). Conclusion: In this survey, the psychological sense of the infertile women with advanced age is at a medium level. The quality of reproductive life and the marital support coping of the women need to be improved, and which is conducive to reduce the psychological sense of entrapment of the women.
