Abstract
Infertility, usually defined as the failure of a couple to conceive after 12 months of regular unprotected intercourse. Infertility sometimes is occurred with psychoemotional distress such as anxiety, interpersonal problems, disappointment, sadness, anger and depression. During the time infertile couples attempt to get pregnant, women with fertility problems experience more negative emotional feelings and psychosocial effect than women who ultimately conceive instinctively. It was noticeable that women with a history of unsuccessful IVF treatment have shown emotional disorders. The longer period during which they were trying to conceive and the disappointment of their failed attempts might have played a role in this way. Moreover, women who had experienced more than one IVF cycle, even after successful pregnancy, still had higher anxiety levels than women who got pregnant after one IVF cycle, which highlights the potential long-term results of such disappointment. Furthermore, anxiety and/or depression had negative correlation with education, is that with the increase of education level, anxiety and/or depression reduce. Thus, depressive and anxiety disorders need much clinical consideration because they usually accompanied by infertility problems and greatly affect the patients’ quality of life. On the other hand, several studies have indicated anxiety has a detrimental consequence on fertility and that decline of anxiety raises pregnancy rate.

Abstract
Introduction: Patient centeredness care is the extent of interaction between physicians and patient that requires vision and understanding of the patient as a person in addition to the illness. Since the aim of establishing quality management systems is accountability, transparency, and justice, this study was aimed to assess the impact of quality management system on patient centeredness. Materials and Methods: The study population included all patients at infertility care center with a sample size of 384 cases obtained from Morgan method. The confirmed patient centeredness questionnaire-infertility with 45 questions in 8 aspect, access (2 questions), information and explanations (12 questions), communication skills of employees (6 questions), participation in treatment (3 questions), respect for the values and needs (6 questions), duration of treatment (6 questions), qualified staff (6 questions), and organization of care (4 questions) was measured. After the establishment of quality management system, the same questionnaire was applied again. Results: The results showed that there is no significance difference at any dimension of patient centeredness before and after establishment of quality system management. Conclusion: The quality management system is not effective on patient-centered treatment and should be used alongside other quality models.

Abstract
Introduction: Infertility is a personal crisis. There are different assisted reproductive techniques in the treatment of infertility. Anxiety and stress have been shown to be markedly higher in infertile couples. This study was aimed to compare the frequency and intensity of stressors in infertile couples undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment, Intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) treatment and without treatment (control group). Materials and Methods: Thirty seven infertile couples undergoing IUI, ICSI and without treatment were selected by non-random convenient sampling from the cases admitted to Rooyan Infertility Clinic. They completed demographic information sheet, and the Stressors Scale. Results: The results showed that there was no significant correlation between duration of infertility with frequency and intensity of stressors. There was no significant correlation between frequency and intensity of stressors with infertility factors. There was also no significant difference in the frequency and intensity of stressors between men and women. There were no differences in the frequency and intensity of stressors between ICSI and IUI with control group. Data showed that there was a significant difference in the frequency of stressors with the group of IUI treatment as well as in the frequency of stressors between ICSI and IUI with control group. Findings demonstrated that there was significant difference between IUI with and without ICSI groups in the frequency and intensity of stress. Conclusion: IUI, ICSI and control groups as the assisted reproductive techniques can be stressful. Long-term planning of mental health services for infertile couples, identifying couples at risk, convincing couples to refer for psychological assessment, psychotherapy by clinical psychologists, and drug therapy by psychiatrists are suggested.

Abstract
Introduction: Infertility is one of the most common problems in the world that can expose affected people to various psychological disorders. Therefore, the present study was performed to develop structural equations for marital relationship distress based on facial emotion recognition: the mediating role of relational aggression in infertile women. Materials and Methods: The research method was descriptive and structural equations. The statistical population of the study included all infertile women who were referred to infertility centers and obstetrics and gynecology medical centers in Tehran in the summer of 2021. 300 subjects were selected via a convenient sampling method and participated in the research through online questionnaires. Data were collected using the Marital Self-Report Questionnaire of Taxon Wisman et al. (2009), the Facial Emotion Recognition Test of Ekman and Friesen (1976), and the Covert Relational Aggression Questionnaire of Nelson-Carroll (2006). Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling. Results: The results showed that the causal model of the relationship between facial emotion recognition, relational aggression, and marital relationship distress in infertile women was confirmed based on different fit indices. Facial emotion recognition and relational aggression have a direct effect on marital distress. Moreover, facial emotion recognition through relational aggression has an indirect effect on marital distress in infertile women. Conclusion: Facial emotion recognition and relational aggression play an important role in marital distress in infertile women, and targeting these two components in psychological therapies can be effective in reducing marital distress.
