“…When the attitudes toward infertility scores of the participants were examined, it was found that female students attained higher scores than male students and had more positive attitudes. The studies of Cakir et al (2020) and Siyez, Seymenier, Kagnici, et al (2018) support our findings; female students had higher scores in these studies (Cakir et al, 2020; Siyez, Seymenier, Kagnici, et al, 2018). In our study, the population consisted of young and mostly nonmarried people, indicating that they had a more realistic view of infertility.…”

Purpose To examine the relationship between university students' attitudes toward gender roles and infertility. Design and Methods This descriptive and correlational study was conducted with 743 university students between September and December 2020. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Gender Roles Attitude Scale, and the Attitudes Towards Infertility Scale through online forms. Findings It was found that attitudes toward gender roles and infertility could be influenced by some sociodemographic factors, for instance, students' sex, education, and family type. There was also a moderate and positive correlation between attitudes toward gender roles and infertility. Practice Implications The present study contributes to a better understanding of the social construction and attitudes toward gender roles and infertility. For a better future, it is recommended that nurses help and support university students in raising awareness about such an important social problem.

“…Having a child is accepted as a psychological, biological, social, and cultural need for almost every community. Due to cultural expectations, couples think about how many children they want and when they want them instead of considering whether they can have a child (Bidzan, 2010 ; Siyez et al, 2018 ). Pregnancy is viewed as a component of a women's wellbeing and a way to manifest their maternal instincts (Van den Heuvel, 2022 ).…”

Introduction: Infertility and its treatment methods among couples have psychological and social consequences. To encounter these consequences, coping strategies are commonly used, which are influenced by various factors, such as the attitude of couples toward infertility. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between attitudes toward infertility and stress-coping strategies among couples undergoing Assisted Reproduction Treatment, referring to the infertility clinic of Al-Zahra Educational Center. Methods: This study was a cross-sectional study performed on 153 couples referred to Al-Zahra Infertility Clinic in Rasht. Three instruments (demographic questionnaire, attitude, and Lazarus coping strategies questionnaire) were used with regard to the inclusion restrictions Results: Between the two variables of individual and social information factors and the attitude of couples toward infertility, only the duration of infertility factor revealed a significant relationship (p <0.05); and in explaining the relationship between individual and social variables and coping strategies, the lack of insurance in both genders with an emotion-oriented strategy, the female infertility factor in women with the confrontational adjustment domain, and treatment in a discontinuous way in both genders have a significant relationship with the problem-oriented domain (p <0.05). Accountability and problem-solving strategies in women and an escapeavoidance strategy in infertile men have been identified as the most important predictors of attitude toward infertility. Conclusion: There is a relationship between attitudes toward infertility and coping strategies. However, the impact of community culture on the type of coping strategies used in this study has led to different results in some cases from other studies
