Background and Objectives: For many people, infertility is a cause of psychological stress that can cause emotional stress and many negative psychological reactions, including depression, anxiety, shame, hopelessness, decreased self-esteem, feelings of sexual inadequacy, and decreased sexual satisfaction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a cognitive-behavioral training package for coping with infertility stress on cognitive regulation of emotion and hope in infertile women.
Materials and Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a two-month follow-up with a control group. The statistical population of the study was infertile women referred to infertility centers and gynecologists and infertility specialists in Kermanshah in 2021. Among the infertile women eligible to participate in the study, 60 were selected as a sample using the convenience sampling method based on informed consent and were randomly assigned into two groups (intervention and control). Newton et al.'s Infertility Stress Questionnaire, Garnevsky and Kraij's Cognitive Regulation of Emotion and Schneider's Hope were used to collect data. The data were analyzed using two-way analysis of variance with repeated measurements.
Results: The results showed that there was a difference among the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up in cognitive emotion regulation (F=60.392, p<0.05) and hopefulness (F=68.794, p<0.05), and this significant difference continued until the follow-up stage.
Conclusion: Cognitive-behavioral coping training package for infertility stress in infertile women can be effective in cognitive regulation of emotion and hope in infertile women. This program can be used to reduce stress in infertile women along with drug treatment.
