Key Points

To examine the relationships between infertility-related stress, coping strategies, and quality of life among women undergoing infertility treatment.
Descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted between April and November 2025 with 200 women attending an infertility outpatient clinic in Central Anatolia, Türkiye.
Evaluated outcomes using the COMPI Fertility Problem Stress Scales, COMPI Coping Strategy Scales, and the Fertility Quality of Life Questionnaire (FertiQoL).
Analyzed data using independent samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression analysis.
The cohort had a mean age of 31.6±3.3 years, marriage duration of 8.3±3.3 years, infertility duration of 3.8±2.3 years, and treatment duration of 3.1±1.4 years.
FertiQoL core, treatment, and total scores were significantly lower among women who were unemployed, smoked, had spouses with lower education levels, or had infertility attributed to both partners.
Undergoing IVF/IUI treatments, having never been pregnant, or having a history of pregnancy after treatment were associated with poorer quality of life outcomes.
