Abstract

Background: The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of emotionally focused therapy (EFT-C) on promoting marital adjustment of infertile couples with marital conflicts by improving quality of life. Materials and Methods: This is a semi-experimental study with a pre-and post-test design in which 30 infertile couples (60 individuals) were chosen by purposive sampling. Couples were randomly divided into two groups, sample and control, of 15 couples each. Next, couples in the sample population answered questionnaires for marital adjustment, sexual satisfaction and quality of life after which they received 10 sessions of EFT-C. Results: Pre- and post-tests showed that EFT-C had a significant effect on marital adjustment and quality of life. Conclusion: According to the results, EFT-C had a significant, positive effect on enhancement of marital adjustment. Life quality of infertile couples significantly increased via application of EFT-C. This approach improved the physical, psychological and social relationships of infertile couples and enhanced their social environment.
