摘要：This study aimed to address the positive changes caused by a traumatic life event like infertility. It examined post-traumatic growth in infertile individuals, sociodemographic and disease-related variables, perceived social support and coping ways thought to influence this phenomenon. The study sample consisted of 70 infertile individuals. We found that infertile individuals showed an above-average post-traumatic growth. Significant positive correlations were found between total scores for perceived social support scale and support from family subscale, as well as between scores for coping strategies and fatalistic coping, optimistic- seeking social support and problem-solving coping styles. The results of the study were discussed and compared with the previous work in the relevant literature.
