Background
Infertility is a stressful condition that can lead to either emotional disturbance or personal growth. Maritalrelationship is one of the factors affecting the consequences of infertility. This study aimed to explore the role ofmarital relationship quality in development of women's personal growth after experiencing infertility.Materials and Methods
In the cross-sectional study, 122 infertile women (mean age 28.79 ± 6.3) were invited tocomplete the survey, including ENRICH Marital Satisfaction Scale, Posttraumatic Growth, Fertility problem inventory,State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Beck Inventory Depression.Results
Higher scores of quality of marital relationships were a protective factor against infertility stress and state/trait anxiety. Additionally, infertility stress was a strong negative predictor of personal growth. Furthermore, infertilewomen with a high level of marital relationships may have more chances to experience personal growth rather thanstress in infertility treatments.Conclusion
The study suggests that high quality of marital relationships may provide positive opportunities for women’spersonal growth after experiencing infertility.Keywords:
