摘要：

This study was conducted to examine the effect of stigma on level of infertility-related psychological distress of women with infertility. Descriptive study was conducted in infertility clinics in Turkey. This study was completed with 198 infertile women. Infertility Distress Scale was 42.69 +/- 7.79, the mean total score of the Infertility Stigma Scale was 52.80 +/- 23.44. It was found that the psychological effect of infertility increased among women as the Infertility Stigma Scale total scores and its sub-dimension scores increased. Developing appropriate interventions by considering infertility and the level of being affected by stigma allows women to cope with this process in a healthier way, which is thought to increase the success of women's treatment.
