Summary
AI-generated from the abstractThis experimental study tested whether mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) reduces infertility stress in women. Ten married women with infertility were assigned to either an experimental group receiving MBSR or a control group. No significant difference was found between pretest and posttest stress scores in the experimental group, nor between the posttest scores of the experimental and control groups. Thus, MBSR did not demonstrate a significant effect on reducing infertility stress in this small sample.
