Overview

Comparative correlational study examines happiness, resilience, and social support in infertile couples, suggesting implications for mental health strategies.

Key Points

  • The study aimed to explore the relationships between happiness, resilience, and perceived social support among infertile couples.
  • Comparative correlational study design with 53 infertile couples recruited through purposive sampling.
  • Data collected using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, Resilience Scale, and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support.
  • Correlations analyzed to assess the interrelations between resilience, social support, and happiness.
  • Wives' resilience positively correlated with their perceived social support (r = .54, p < .001).
  • Husbands' happiness was correlated with resilience (r = .40, p < .01) and perceived support (r = .27, p < .05).
  • Husbands' happiness was also positively correlated with wives' resilience (r = .41, p < .01), indicating a dyadic crossover effect.
