Nowadays, infertility and attitudes toward it, cause issues like depression, helplessness and anxiety. The present study

reliability of the questionnaires was determined using the internal consistency method. The calculated Cronbach’s alpha

95% respectively. Data was analyzed using SPSS-16 software by a Pearson correlation coefficient and linear regression
Results:

no significant relationship between marital conflict and general health. Regression analysis showed that happiness and
inferiority feeling with respect to the beta coefficient (-0.56, 0.21) can vary significantly predict their general health.
