Mental Health and Its Socio-Demographic Predictors in Male Partner of Iranian Infertile Couples. Issues Ment Health Nurs. 2016 May 2;:1-6 Authors: Koochaksaraei FY, Mirghafourvand M, Hasanpoor S, Bani S Abstract Infertility is considered a traumatic stressor for infertile couples. This cross-sectional study aimed to determine the mental health status and its relationship with social support in 345 male partners of infertile couples. Scores on the mental health measure (GHQ-28) indicated that 41.2% of the men had mental problem. Social support from the family, cause of infertility, education, and adequacy of family income were predictors of the mental health in infertile men according to multivariate linear regression. Strengthening social support for improving mental health of infertile men seems necessary. PMID: 27135680 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
