Religious coping is known as one of the successful manners to cure depressed infertile women; however, research findings show that demographic factors (e.g., education level) have played an important role on the relationship between depression and religious coping scores. The goal of this study is to measure the influence of age, job status, and education level on both scores within Iranian infertile women. In this cross sectional study, 1000 women (mean age, 35.96; range, 26-45), who are recruited from different hospitals of Shiraz (Iran), are selected via multistage cluster sampling method. The reliability and validity of the translated versions of the questionnaires have been confirmed. The correlation coefficient (Spearman method), adjusted linear regression coefficient, and ordinal regression coefficient of demographic features with the depression scores/levels (minimal, mild, moderate, and severe) and religious coping scores are determined. A significant negative correlation is found between depression and religious compatibility scores in 1000 infertile women (ρ = -0.318, P = 0.000). In addition, the results have implied the existence of a significant correlation and linear relationship between religious coping and age and job status (P < 0.05). Furthermore, both correlation and ordinal regression of depression intensity with both job status and education level are found to be statistically meaningful (P < 0.05). The negative correlation between religious coping and depression scores has implied the positive role of religious coping in protecting infertile women from depression, especially among employed women. Nevertheless, the correlation of religious coping with education level is not strong enough due to the nonuniform distribution of variables through their range.
宗教应对被认为是治愈抑郁不育女性的成功方式之一；然而，研究结果表明，人口统计学因素（如教育水平）在抑郁与宗教应对得分之间的关系中发挥了重要作用。本研究的目的是衡量年龄、工作状态和教育水平对伊朗不育女性这两项得分的影响。
在这项横断面研究中，通过多阶段整群抽样方法，从设拉子（伊朗）不同医院招募了1000名女性（平均年龄35.96岁；范围26 - 45岁）。问卷翻译版本的信度和效度已得到确认。确定了人口统计学特征与抑郁得分/水平（轻微、轻度、中度和重度）以及宗教应对得分的相关系数（斯皮尔曼方法）、调整线性回归系数和有序回归系数。
在1000名不育女性中，发现抑郁与宗教适配性得分之间存在显著负相关（ρ = -0.318，P = 0.000）。此外，结果表明宗教应对与年龄和工作状态之间存在显著相关性和线性关系（P < 0.05）。此外，抑郁强度与工作状态和教育水平的相关性和有序回归均具有统计学意义（P < 0.05）。宗教应对与抑郁得分之间的负相关表明宗教应对在保护不育女性免受抑郁方面具有积极作用，尤其是在职业女性中。然而由于变量在其范围内分布不均匀，宗教应对与教育水平的相关性不够强。
