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.
