Beyond the physical inability to conceive, infertility exerts emotional, psychological, and social burdens that influence women's overall well-being and quality of life. Despite the availability of treatment options, coping mechanisms and treatment experiences vary across different demographics. This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among women attending the gynecology clinic of Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital. Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from 76 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The instrument captured sociodemographic details, emotional and social effects of infertility, coping strategies, treatment methods, and challenges encountered. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented in tables and percentages. The findings revealed that most respondents were between the ages of 26 and 35, married, and possessed a tertiary education. A significant majority (77.2%) experienced emotional distress, while 63.2% reported marital conflict due to infertility. Coping strategies were predominantly medical, with 80.7% seeking hospital-based treatment and 86% undergoing hormonal therapy. Religious coping was also evident, though psychological and group support systems were underutilized. Despite treatment efforts, only 57.9% reported improvement, and financial constraint (68.4%) was identified as the major barrier. The study concludes that infertility has far-reaching psychological and social implications, yet women predominantly rely on medical and religious means of coping. Nurses and healthcare providers should integrate counseling and emotional support into fertility care, while society must reduce stigma through awareness campaigns. Government interventions are recommended to subsidize infertility treatments and support holistic, patient-centered care....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»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»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»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»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
