Background and aims: Marital relationships are one of the most important elements in strengthening the family foundation. Resilience, mental health, and social support can be important variables in preventing marital boredom. The aim of this study was to investigate the mediating role of resilience in the relationship of mental health and perceived social support with marital boredom in infertile women.
Methods: The present study was a correlational and structural equation modeling type. The statistical population included infertile women referring to the infertility ward of a hospital in Tehran in 2019-2020. Through available sampling, 361 people were selected to participate in the study. The couple burnout measure, the resilience questionnaire, the perceived social support questionnaire, and the general health questionnaire were used to collect data. In the present study, Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data.
Results: There is a significant negative relationship between general health (0.56), social support (0.55), and resilience (0.61) with marital boredom at the level of 0.01. Also, resilience had a mediating role in the relationship of mental health and perceived social support with marital boredom in infertile women (p<0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, the individual resilience as a moderating variable has a positive effect on the relationship between mental health and marital boredom in infertile women. In other words, mental health at high levels of resilience predicts a reduction in marital boredom. |
