Abstract：Objective:To know the status quo and influencing factors of delayed medical decision-making in patients with diminished ovarian reserve during reproductive age,and to provide references for formulating and implementing targeted intervention measures.Methods:A general information questionnaire,Chinese-Perceived Barriers to Health-care Seeking Decision(PBHSD-C),Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale for Adults(MUIS-A),Perceived Social Support Scale(PSSS),and Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire(MCMQ)were used to conduct a survey on 283 patients with diminished ovarian reserve.Results:The score of PBHSD-C was 34.50±11.67.The educational level,place of residence,uncertainty in illness,perceived social support,and medical coping modes of patients were the influencing factors of their delayed medical decision-making(P<0.05).Conclusions:The delayed medical decision-making of patients with diminished ovarian reserve during reproductive age was at a moderate level.Relevant health care departments should pay more attention to female reproductive health,early identify the groups prone to delayed medical treatment,and carry out appropriate interventions.
