Abstract :
Infertility is a common health problem recog-nized worldwide by WHO and affects about 9% of reproductive-age couples (1). Infertility has been known to cause negative psychological, so-cial, and emotional distress worldwide especially in developing countries like Iran. Most often cit-ed consequences of infertility are depression, anxiety, stigma, sexual dysfunction, marital dissat-isfaction, and impaired quality of life (2). This study aimed to examine the gender differences in self-efficacy, resilience, and social support among infertile Iranian couples using a dyadic approach.
