Introduction: Infertile women may have difficulty coping with the stress caused by assisted reproductive methods.
Aim: It was aimed to investigate the effect of chewing gum on stress levels in women with unexplained infertility.
Method: Sixty - one women receiving in - vitro fertilization treatment in the tertiary care center were included in the study. A randomized controlled experimental design was established in the study. The group chewing gum for five minutes at least two times a day was called "Experimental Group - 1", the group chewing gum for 20 minutes at least two times a day was called "Experimental Group - 2", and the group not chewing gum was called "Control Group". Reproductive information and stress level data of infertile women were collected with the Descriptive Information Form and Fertility Problem Inventory.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found in comparing Fertility Problem Inventory total scores between the groups (p > 0.005). However, a statistically signifiant difference was found between the mean values of the denial of life without children, which was a subscale of the Fertility Problem Inventory score according to time in the Experimental Group - 2 group (p <0.005).
Conclusion: We believe that the positive effect of chewing gum on coping with stress may be an alternative intervention that may contribute positively to coping with the infertility treatment process and should be supported by other interventions.

Giriş: İnfertil kadınlar, yardımlı reprodüktif yöntemlerin neden olduğu stres ile baş etmekte zorlanabilmektedirler.
Amaç: Nedeni açıklanamayan infertil kadınlarda sakız çiğnemenin stres düzeyi üzerine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlandı.
Yöntem: Üçüncü basamak bir merkezde in - vitro fertilizasyon tedavisi alan 61 kadın çalışmaya dahil edildi. Araştırmada randomize kontrollü deneysel bir tasarım oluşturuldu. Günde en az iki kez beş dakika sakız çiğneyen grup “Deney Grubu - 1”, en az iki kez 20 dakika sakız çiğneyen grup “Deney Grubu - 2”, sakız çiğnemeyen grup ise “Kontrol Grubu” olarak adlandırıldı. İnfertil kadınların üreme bilgileri ve stres düzeyleri verileri Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu ve Fertilite Sorun Envanteri ile toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Gruplara göre sosyodemografik ve infertiliteye özgü özellikler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır. Gruplar arası Fertilite Sorunu Envanteri toplam puanlarının karşılaştırılmasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamamıştır (p > 0,05). Ancak “Deney Grubu - 2” grubu zamanlara göre Fertilite Sorunu Envanteri alt ölçeklerinden çocuksuz yaşamın reddi ölçek puanı ortalama değerleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p < 0,005).
Sonuç: Sakız çiğnemenin stres ile baş etmeye sağladığı olumlu etkinin, infertilite tedavisi sürecinde kadınların yaşadığı stres düzeyini azaltmada dolaylı olarak da olsa azalma sağladığı dolayısıyla infertilite tedavi süreci ile baş etme üzerine olumlu katkı sağlayabilecek alternatif bir girişim olabileceği ve başka girişimlerle desteklenmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir
