Beyond its medical implications, infertility exerts profound psychological, emotional, and social burdens, particularly on women in societies where childbearing is strongly tied to identity, marital stability, and social acceptance. Women often experience distress manifested as depression, anxiety, frustration, diminished self-esteem, and social isolation. Coping strategies, therefore, play a critical role in mitigating these challenges and safeguarding mental well-being. This study evaluated the psychological distress experienced by women attending the infertility clinic at People’s Medical Center, Benin City, Edo State, and identified the coping strategies they employ. Using a descriptive design, data were collected through structured questionnaires focusing on distress levels, coping mechanisms, and the influence of socio-demographic factors. Findings from literature and empirical evidence suggest that women adopt diverse coping strategies, including emotional expression, professional counseling, self-care practices, support groups, educational resources, and lifestyle modifications. The effectiveness of these strategies varies, with problem-focused and positive coping approaches linked to reduced distress, while maladaptive strategies such as denial often exacerbate emotional strain. The study underscores the need for healthcare providers to integrate psychological support into infertility care, emphasizing counseling, education, and community-based interventions. By understanding the coping mechanisms employed by women, tailored support systems can be developed to improve their psychological resilience and overall quality of life. Ultimately, this research contributes to enhancing infertility care by addressing both the medical and emotional dimensions of the condition, thereby promoting holistic well-being among affected women ...Preview Download Preview +Other Nursing Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors contributing to ineffective utilization of immunization programme among mothers in Ekwerazu town Ahiazu Mbaise local government area Imo state»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University
