Infertile couples have a lower quality of life (QoL) than that of the general population. Religious coping strategies (RCOPE) could affect QoL in distressing situations. The present study aimed to assess the association between the RCOPE of infertile people with their own QoL and that of their spouses'.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 infertile couples referring to Infertility Center of Qom, Iran in 2015. The data was collected using three questionnaires including Brief RCOPE scale, Short Form Health Survey, and a demographic questionnaire. value of ≤0.05 was considered as significant level.
Multivariate analysis showed relationship between wives' RCOPE-N with their own QoL (β = -1.31, < 0.001). Further, in husbands, RCOPE-P showed significant positive relationship with their own QoL (β = 0.80, = 0.002), and their RCOPE-N had significant negative relationship with it (β = -0.61, = 0.02). Surprisingly, wives' RCOPE-P showed negative relationship with husbands' QoL (β = -0.62, = 0.04); whereas their RCOPE-N had no significant relationship with their husbands' QoL. In addition, neither RCOPE-P nor RCOPE-N of husbands had a significant relationship with their wives' QoL.
In summary, we could not find an obvious and significant relationship between RCOPE of each spouse with QoL of the other spouse in infertile couples. Hence, further investigations with more participants of various religions are recommended.
不孕夫妇的生活质量（QoL）低于普通人群。宗教应对策略（RCOPE）可能会在困境中影响生活质量。本研究旨在评估不孕人群的宗教应对策略与其自身生活质量以及配偶生活质量之间的关联。
2015年，对转诊至伊朗库姆不孕不育中心的200对不孕夫妇进行了这项横断面研究。使用包括简易宗教应对量表、简短健康调查问卷和一份人口统计学调查问卷在内的三份问卷收集数据。≤0.05的值被视为显著水平。
多变量分析显示，妻子的消极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-N）与其自身生活质量之间存在关联（β = -1.31，P < 0.001）。此外，在丈夫中，积极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-P）与其自身生活质量呈显著正相关（β = 0.80，P = 0.002），而消极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-N）与之呈显著负相关（β = -0.61，P = 0.02）。令人惊讶的是，妻子的积极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-P）与丈夫的生活质量呈负相关（β = -0.62，P = 0.04）；而消极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-N）与丈夫的生活质量无显著关联。此外，丈夫的积极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-P）和消极宗教应对策略（RCOPE-N）与妻子的生活质量均无显著关联。
总之，我们未在不孕夫妇中发现配偶一方的宗教应对策略与另一方配偶的生活质量之间存在明显且显著的关系。因此，建议开展更多涉及不同宗教更多参与者的进一步调查。
