Summary: The present study aimed to explore the relationships between women's coping strategies, spouses' coping strategies, and women's psychological health in infertile couples undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment. The study involved 212 couples and utilized self-report questionnaires to assess coping strategies and a stress, anxiety, and depression scale to measure psychological health. The findings revealed that women's self-blame and self-focused rumination strategies directly impacted stress and depression levels, and these effects were mediated by spouses' coping strategies. Additionally, women's self-focused rumination strategy indirectly influenced anxiety and depression levels through spouses' self-blame strategy. These results highlight the negative impact of women's coping strategies and the important role of spouses' coping strategies in the psychological health of infertile couples undergoing ART.

Summary: A history of depression increases the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on various aspects of life, and individuals with a history of depression are more likely to use maladaptive coping strategies. Adaptive coping strategies can protect and regulate symptoms. Focusing on developing tools to promote well-being, alleviate stress, and decrease perceptions of helplessness during clinical encounters may mitigate these effects.
