Infertility is a major public health problem with physical, psychological and social dimensions. High prevalence of psychological problems has been reported in infertile women. The objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of well- being therapy (WBT) for depression in infertile women who were referred to an infertility center in Mashhad, Iran.
This preliminary trial was conducted at the Montasariya Infertility Center, Mashhad, Iran, between July and October 2011. A group of 22 infertile women were randomly assigned into experimental (n=11) and control groups (n=11). Patients were assessed with two self-rating inventories including the Psychological Well- being (PWB) and the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) before and after the interventions and the waiting-list period. WBT was performed in 8 to 10 sessions according to the published protocol.
Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) showed a significant difference regarding the depression scores of experimental group between preand post-treatment as compared to control subjects.
The results suggested the feasibility and clinical advantages of adding WBT to repertoire of the treatment techniques for depression in infertile women.
不孕症是一个涉及生理、心理和社会层面的重大公共卫生问题。据报道，不孕女性中存在心理问题的比例较高。本研究的目的是检验幸福感疗法（WBT）对转诊至伊朗马什哈德一家不孕不育中心的不孕女性抑郁症的疗效。
本初步试验于2011年7月至10月在伊朗马什哈德的蒙塔萨里亚不孕不育中心进行。将22名不孕女性随机分为实验组（n = 11）和对照组（n = 11）。在干预前后以及等待期，使用两种自评量表对患者进行评估，包括心理健康量表（PWB）和抑郁、焦虑和压力量表-21（DASS-21）。根据已发表的方案，进行8至10次幸福感疗法治疗。
协方差分析（ANCOVA）显示，与对照组相比，实验组治疗前后的抑郁评分存在显著差异。
结果表明，将幸福感疗法添加到不孕女性抑郁症治疗技术中具有可行性和临床优势。
