Background & Aims Considering the psychological needs of infertile women, the important role of cognitive emotion regulation in their psychological state, and the lack of an intervention to deal with infertility stress in Iran, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral infertility stress coping training on the cognitive emotion regulation of infertile women.
Materials & Methods This is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test/post-test/two-month follow-up design. The study population consists of infertile women who referred to infertility treatment centers and visited specialists in Kermanshah, Iran, in 2021. Using a convenience sampling method, 40 women were selected and were divided into two groups (intervention and control). They completed Newton’s fertility problem inventory and Garnefski and Kraaij’s cognitive emotion regulation questionnaire (CERQ). The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software, version 24 using repeated measures analysis of variance.
Results There were significant differences in the CERQ scores in the intervention group between the three stages of pre-test, post-test, and follow-up (P<0.05). The significant effect was maintained in the follow-up stage (P<0.05).
Conclusion The cognitive-behavioral infertility stress-coping training program is effective in improving the cognitive emotion regulation of infertile women. Therefore, this program can be used to reduce the stress of infertile women in Iran.
