Abstract: (36 Views)
Background Resilience is a critical factor that can positively influence an individual’s quality of life. Among infertile couples, resilience serves as a protective factor against psychological distress and feelings of helplessness. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a follow-up care model on the
resilience of infertile women.
Conclusion The findings demonstrate that the follow-up care model effectively enhanced resilience among infertile women. It is recommended that health authorities develop and implement educational and support programs based on this model in infertility treatment centers to promote the mental health and resilience of this population.
Methods This quasi-experimental study included 90 infertile women referred to the infertility clinic of Bent Al-Hoda Hospital in Bojnurd, Iran. Participants were assigned to either the intervention group (n = 45) or the control group (n = 45) based on predefined inclusion criteria. Data collection tools included a demographic questionnaire and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The intervention was delivered according to the follow-up care model. Statistical analyses were performed with a significance level set at p < 0.05.
Results There were no statistically significant differences between the intervention and control groups in demographic characteristics. In the intervention group, all resilience subscales showed significant improvement following the intervention (p < 0.05). In contrast, no significant changes were observed in the control group. Post-intervention comparisons indicated a statistically significant effect of the follow-up care model on resilience (p < 0.001).
