Introduction: Infertility is a major public health concern and one of the most significant life crises, often leading to psychological challenges such as marital burnout, infertility-related stress, and impaired cognitive-emotional regulation in affected women. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of mindfulness training on cognitive emotion regulation, infertility stress, and marital burnout in women with infertility.
Methods: This semi-experimental study involved 24 infertile women who were referred to the Jahad University Infertility Treatment Center in Ahvaz in 1403 AH. Participants were randomly assigned to either a mindfulness training intervention group (n = 12) or a control group (n = 12). Both groups completed standardized questionnaires on marital burnout, infertility stress, and cognitive emotion regulation at two points: pre-test and post-test. The post-test was administered one week after the final intervention session. The mindfulness-based intervention consisted of eight weekly sessions, each lasting 45 minutes. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) in SPSS version 26.
Results: The results showed that mindfulness training for infertile women in experimental group significantly reduced marital burnout (P<0.001), reduced infertility stress (P<0.001), and increased cognitive emotion regulation (P<0.001) in infertile women in the experimental group.
Conclusion: In addition to other medical treatment methods in specialized infertility clinics, mindfulness training can be used to reduce the psychological problems of infertile women.
