Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Infertility is defined as the inability to become pregnant despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for 12 months. Infertility can cause decreased sexual satisfaction, deterioration of marital harmony and separation in couples. Massage with contact and touch can increase harmony between couples, reduce stress and contribute to increased sexual satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of back massage on infertility stress, sexual satisfaction and marital harmony in infertile couples.

The couples included in the study were divided into two groups: study and control groups. All patients completed the demographic information scale, The COMPI Coping Strategy Scales, Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale. Back massage was taught to the couples in the study group and the spouses were allowed to perform back massage during the infertility treatment. No intervention was applied in the control group. A month later, the COMPI Coping Strategy Scales, Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale were repeated on the fences. Mann Whitney u test, ki kare test and wilxon test used to analyze data.

Marital harmony and sexual satisfaction were found to be higher and stress levels were lower in couples who received back massage.

As a result, it has been shown that back massage has positive effects on infertility stress, sexual satisfaction and marital harmony in infertile couples.
