Results

There were no significant interaction effects between program and time in the FertiQoL and Distress scales. However, there were significant interaction effects between program and time in the Relational (p < .001) and Social (p = .044) subscales. Subgroup analysis showed that in the non-assisted reproductive technologies group, deterioration in the quality of life was more effectively prevented in the intervention group than in the control group.
