dc.description.abstractAim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate marital adjustment and quality of life in infertile couples and to determine on which issues they need support. Material and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on 222 individuals receiving or planning to receive infertility treatment. Quality of life (QoL) was evaluated with the Fertility Quality of Life questionnaire (FertiQol) and marital adjustment was evaluated with the Marital Adjustment Scale. Results: It was determined that 21.6% (n=48) of the participants were incompatible in marriage, and 78.4% (n=174) were compatible in marriage. Marital adjustment was statistically better in those who were younger (p=0.017), those with a short time of marriage (p=0.004), and those with a short treatment period (p=0.003). A moderately positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the marital adjustment score and the total FertiQol score (r=0.456) (p<0.001). Discussion: It was observed that marital adjustment and quality of life decreased as the years of marriage increased and the duration of treatment extended. QoL was found to be significantly higher in couples with good marital adjustment. Psychological counseling and support should be given to infertile couples receiving treatment, especially women, and the importance of couples' support to each other should be emphasized.en_US
