Infertility and Psychosocial Support: A New Hope for Couples

Infertility is a challenging experience for couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). This comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis delves into the efficacy of psychosocial interventions in supporting infertile couples. The study analyzed data from 39 studies involving over 2700 participants, revealing a statistically significant and robust association between psychosocial interventions and improved pregnancy rates. The study also found that these interventions effectively reduced psychological distress, including depressive symptoms, anxiety, infertility stress, and marital dysfunction. The authors conclude that psychosocial interventions, particularly cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), could be beneficial for couples facing infertility.
