Various factors have determinant role in infertility-related quality of life. The aim of this study was to consider the predictive role of self-efficacy, optimism and demographical characteristics in infertility-related quality of life.

Data were collected by the fertility quality of life tool (FertiQoL), the Infertility Self-Efficacy Scale (ISE), Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R) and Demographical Questionnaire, then they were analyzed with multiple regression in stepwise method by SPSS-19 software.
Results: Age mean of participants was 31/67. Optimism, infertility-related self-efficacy, and socio-economic status had positively significant role on the prediction of infertility-related quality of life (p0/05).
Conclusion: Positive life orientation via optimism, higher self-efficacy in controlling the infertility outcomes, and higher socio-economic status are associated with more appropriate quality of life among infertile females. It is highly recommended to pay attention to these factors in programming and implementing tailored interventions of the infertility-related quality of life improvement for women.
