Abstract
This study analyzed the level of perceived stress in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) depending on age characteristics, education level, and marital status. The study was descriptive and comparative in nature and was conducted based on data from 98 women aged 20 to 40. The level of perceived stress was assessed using the PSS-14 perceived stress scale proposed by Cohen and Williamson. The collected data were processed using JASP 0.95.2 statistical software (University of Amsterdam). The reliability of the scale was assessed using Cronbach's α and McDonald's ω coefficients, and the normality of the distribution was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk criterion. To determine the differences between the groups, the t-test for independent samples and one-way ANOVA were used. The results showed that the level of education has a significant impact on the level of perceived stress (p < 0.001): women with secondary or college education showed higher levels of stress compared to women with higher education. Although differences in age and marital status did not reach statistical significance, a trend toward higher stress levels was identified among young and unmarried/divorced women. The data obtained indicate a relationship between perceived stress and socio-demographic factors in the context of RPL and may form the basis for the development of targeted psychological support strategies.
