Abstract :
Infertility is a critical public health issue that af-fects 9% of couples worldwide. It is associated with adverse psychosocial consequences which further affect the couple’s quality of life (QoL) (1, 2). Multiple factors determine the QoL of pa-tients with infertility (3). One of the most im-portant factors is infertility self-efficacy, especial-ly for patients in developing countries. We aimed to examine this relationship using an innovative hybrid dyadic analysis technique, the Actor-Partner Common Fate Model (APCFM) (4).
