5 CONCLUSION
Women undergoing infertility treatment have more individual, marital, and social stress than men. Couples use various coping strategies to cope with the stress of infertility. However, these methods which they use do not have a protective effect on individuals’ social-emotional capacity. It was determined that infertility stress, consisting of age, marriage duration, individual, marriage and social stress, had the effect of increasing the social-emotional burden of infertile individuals. It is recommended that infertile couples be provided with treatment, care, and support by taking these variables into account. Nurses working in the infertility unit should provide care by considering the stress levels of women regarding their individual, marital, and social areas of being diagnosed with infertility and how they cope with this stress, which will form the basis of effective support and counseling.
