  • Title: Relationship between infertility-related stress and emotional distress and marital satisfaction.
    Author: Gana K, Jakubowska S.
    Journal: J Health Psychol; 2016 Jun; 21(6):1043-54. PubMed ID: 25139894.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive effects of infertility-related stress on psychological distress and marital satisfaction. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate a nonrecursive model hypothesizing the impact of infertility-related stress on both emotional distress and marital dissatisfaction, which were supposed to have a reciprocal influence on each other. The model was estimated using data from a sample of 150 infertile patients (78 males and 72 females). Findings confirmed the predictive effects of infertility-related stress on both emotional and marital distress. However, infertility-related stress was found to have more impact on emotional distress than on marital satisfaction.
