Quality of life among individuals seeking fertility treatment in Uganda_dataset

This dataset contains 332 survey records from a hospital-based cross-sectional study of fertility-related quality of life among adults seeking fertility care in Kampala, Uganda, conducted from May 2024 through January 2025. Participants were recruited at Kawempe National Referral Hospital (public; 175 records) and St. Francis Hospital Nsambya (private; 157 records). The study was designed to characterize fertility-specific quality of life and support analyses of its association with demographic and infertility-related characteristics. The CSV has 71 variables. Participant characteristics include interview date, study site, age/age category, gender, marital status, occupation, education, whether the participant has biologically related children, number of children, primary versus secondary infertility, and duration of infertility in years and categories. Fertility-related quality of life was measured with the 24-item Core Fertility Quality of Life (FertiQoL) questionnaire. Item responses are coded on a 0–4 scale. The file also includes reverse-coded item fields and derived raw and 0–100 scaled scores for the emotional, mind–body, relational, and social domains, together with overall Core FertiQoL scores; higher scaled scores indicate better quality of life. The optional Treatment FertiQoL domains (environment and tolerability) were not populated, and their associated score fields are blank. Missing values in number of children occur among records reporting no biologically related children. Participant identification numbers are study codes and should not be treated as globally unique; analyses should use the full record and site information as appropriate. The dataset can support descriptive, comparative, psychometric, and multivariable analyses of fertility-related quality of life across demographic, clinical, and facility characteristics.本数据集包含332条调研记录，源自2024年5月至2025年1月在乌干达坎帕拉开展的一项基于医院的横断面研究，针对寻求生育诊疗的成年人的生育相关生活质量展开调研。调研对象招募自卡文佩国家转诊医院（公立，175条记录）与圣弗朗西斯恩萨姆比亚医院（私立，157条记录）。本研究旨在刻画生育特异性生活质量特征，并支持分析其与人口统计学特征及不孕症相关特征的关联。 该CSV文件包含71个变量。调研对象的特征信息包括访谈日期、研究站点、年龄/年龄分组、性别、婚姻状况、职业、受教育程度、是否拥有生物学亲缘子女、子女数量、原发性与继发性不孕症，以及不孕症病程（以年数及病程分组形式记录）。生育相关生活质量采用包含24个条目的核心生育生活质量（Core Fertility Quality of Life, FertiQoL）问卷进行评估。条目得分采用0–4级计分。文件同时包含反向计分条目字段，以及情绪、身心、关系、社会四个维度的原始得分与0–100标准化得分，一并包含总体核心FertiQoL得分；标准化得分越高代表生活质量越好。 可选的治疗相关FertiQoL维度（环境与耐受性）未填充数据，其关联的得分字段均为空值。子女数量字段的缺失值见于无生物学亲缘子女的记录中。调研对象标识编号为研究内部编码，不应视为全局唯一标识；分析时应根据需求使用完整记录及站点信息。本数据集可支持针对生育相关生活质量的描述性、比较性、心理测量学及多变量分析，覆盖人口统计学、临床及医疗机构特征维度。
