Abstract
The experience of infertility can be a major stressor, especially for women. The current study attempted to explore the relationships between infertility related stressors, distress (i.e., depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms and negative affect), positive affect and problem solving coping in infertile women. Seventy infertile women completed self-report questionnaires. Results indicated that infertility related stressors, as well as some problem solving styles, predicted distress. Furthermore, it was found that certain effective problem solving styles predicted positive affect. However, problem solving styles were not found to moderate the relationship between stressors and distress in this population. The clinical and research implications of this study are discussed.
