Abstract

Background: Assisted reproductive technology (ARTs) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) can lead to depressive symptoms in infertile women due to their low success and high costs. Mindfulness-based group Counseling can decrease depressive symptoms by increasing mental concentration. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Mindfulness-based group Counseling on Depression in infertile women undergoing IVF. Materials and Methods: The present clinical trial included 90 infertile women undergoing IVF treatment in an Infertility center in 2016. Women were divided into two groups, intervention and control. Both groups completed a demographic questionnaire and the Beck Depression inventory (BDI). Eight 90-minute sessions (two each week) of Mindfulness-based group Counseling were held with the intervention group, while the control group received treatment as normal. Following the intervention, the BDI was again completed by both groups. The data were analyzed and independent t tests and, paired t tests conducted at a significance level of P<0. 05. Results: No statistically significant demographic differences were observed between the two groups. Women in the control group had a somewhat lower depressive symptom score than the intervention group before the intervention. However, compared with before, the depressive symptom score among women in the intervention group decreased significantly (48%) (P<0. 001) after the intervention. In contrast, the depressive symptom score in control women was higher after the intervention than before. Conclusion: According to the findings of the present research, Mindfulness-based group Counseling is able to reduce depressive symptoms in infertile women under IVF treatment. Therefore, group Counseling sessions are suggested for all depressed women undergoing Infertility treatment.
