Overview

Cross-sectional survey reveals stigma negatively impacts subjective well-being in infertile couples, suggesting urgent interventions.

Key Points

  • Infertility stigma significantly decreases subjective well-being among couples in Punjab, Pakistan.
  • The negative correlation between stigma and well-being was strong (r = –.52, p < .001) and predictive (β = –.48, p < .001).
  • Lower-income households and rural dwellers exhibited the most significant well-being concerns related to stigma.
  • Educational and counseling initiatives are essential for addressing infertility stigma in pronatalist societies like Pakistan.
