Plain Language Summary
All of the studies revealed that factors, such as depression or anxiety could threaten infertility treatment outcomes. Besides, by improving mental health, psychological interventions together with infertility treatment, could enhance the effectiveness of infertility treatments. Therefore, researchers suggested that an infertility treatment program must be accompanied by psychological treatment. MBSR group therapy is a third-generation of cognitive-behavioral therapies. This intervention could decrease anxiety, stress, and depression in infertile women receiving IVF after finishing the treatment sessions.
