Identification of copy strategies for stressful events like infertility is important. The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between coping strategies with anxiety and depression symptoms in men and women's infertile. Methods: This descriptive-analytic study was conducted from 2011-2012 on 168 Iranian infertile couples referred to the Fatemeh Zahra infertility and reproductive health research center of Babol university of medical science to initiate assistant reproductive technologies and completed the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WCQ), The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).The results were analyzed using t-test, the Pearson correlation and the stepwise model of multiple regression analysis. P < 0.05 was considered for level of significant. Results: Escape/ avoidance contributed the greatest amount of unique variance to the model for anxiety/depression of infertile women (P < 0.0001, P < 0.001) and followed by distancing (P < 0.0001, P < 0.01), accepting responsibility (P < 0.0001, P < 0.01). Seeking social support was the negative significantly predictor for both anxiety and depression in infertile women (P < 0.01, P < 0.01), but planful problem solving was the inversely predictor for only depression in infertile women (P < 0.01). Escape/avoidance was the only predictor factor of the model anxiety for infertile men (P < 0.01). Escape/avoidance and self controlling were the positive predictor (P < 0.001) and planful problem solving was the negative predictor for men depression (P < 0.05). Conclusion: men and women infertile who use disproportionally maladaptive coping strategies such as escape/avoidance are predisposed to anxiety and depression symptoms. How using the coping strategies is very important in expressing anxiety and depression in infertile couples and training the adaptive coping strategies suggested by counseling centers.

Out of 42 students who were studying in the 3rd year of bachelor program of Nursing Department in Health School, 38 students who were volunteers were selected as the study group. R Re es su ul lt ts s: : In this study aiming to determine infertility perceptions of nursing students in Turkey, it was found that students were giving meanings to conceiving a child such as the purpose/meaning of life and continuation of generation; and expressed that especially female students may experience intensive emotional problems when they learn that they can not have a child. It was observed that students may cope with such a situation by staying unmarried/divorcing, preferring to escape, adopting a child, focusing on the religion or looking for some other activities; and female students have approached to adopting a child more negatively than the male students. The students have stated that their culture had a negative sense for infertility, and their meanings for infertility and their emotional/behavioral responses were directly associated with the culture that they were living in. C Co on nc cl lu us si io on n: : It was recommended to carry out more intensive research for the determination of emotions, thoughts and perceptions of the young people regarding infertility, activities aiming to increase their awareness about this topic (such as research, education, written and visual media, etc) and studies for strengthening positive effects of the culture by altering its negative effects on thoughts and perceptions regarding infertility in our country.
