Abstract: (275 Views)
The present study was conducted to explain the mental health model based on infertility stress with the mediation of perceived stress in infertile women. The research method was the descriptive-correlation type of structural equation analysis. The statistical population in this research was made up of all women who were referred to Royan Infertility Center and Sarem Hospital in Tehran for infertility treatment in 2023. Therefore, by referring to these centers examining the files of infertile women and taking into account the inclusion criteria, 270 of them were selected as the research sample. The measurement tools were perceived stress questionnaires (PSS), Cohen, 1983), infertility stress (FPI, Newton, 1999), and mental health (GHQ, Goldberg, and Hiller, 1972). Data analysis was done using Pearson correlation and structural equations software. The results of the fit of the proposed model indicated a good fit of the model with the data. Based on the findings, infertility stress has a positive and significant effect on mental health and perceived stress (P<0.01). Also, perceived stress has a positive and significant effect on mental health (P<0.01). Also, by entering the perceived stress variable into the model, the indirect effect of infertility stress on mental health became significant (P<0.01). Therefore, the results of this research showed the importance of perceived stress as a mediating variable in the relationship between infertility stress and the mental health of infertile women.
