ABSTRACT
Background
Infertility is a multidimensional problem, which negatively affects the mental health of couples, especially women. Therefore this study was conducted to determine the effect of positive psychotherapy (PPT)-based training on psychological well-being and hope level of women receiving infertility treatment.
Method
The research was carried out in two Research Hospitals OGPH between November 2019 and December 2020 as an experimental model with pre-test-post-test control groups. Sample size for the study was determined by using the G.Power 3.1.9.2 program. The study was completed with 104 women (62 in the control group, 42 in the experimental group) receiving infertility treatment. The infertile women who were included in the study were determined by using the computer-assisted simple random sampling method. 8-session PPT-based training was provided for the women in the experimental group while no intervention was applied to the women in the control group. The trainings were carried out as individual and face-to-face training with the women in the experimental group.
Results
After the PPT-based training, it was determined that the psychological well-being and hope levels of the women in the experimental group increased compared to the women in the control group.
Conclusion
In the study, it was found out that PPT-based training has a positive effect on increased psychological well-being and hope levels of infertile women.
