Background and Objectives: Infertility, particularly female infertility, can threat women's psychological health. Spiritual health can play a significant role in increasing people's abilities especially in tough conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of psychotherapy on existential health in infertile women.
Methods: The study population of this experimental controlled study with pretest-post-test consisted of infertile women referring to the Gynecology and Infertility Clinic of Dehdasht from late June 2015 to late September 2015. First, the samples were selected by convenience sampling; after the Spirituality Component of the Lifestyle Questionnaire, they were randomized to two groups of 12 each: experimental and control. The experimental group attended eight sessions of existential psychotherapy and control group attended no intervention. Data analysis was conducted by covariance analysis in SPSS 18.
Results: Existential psychotherapy caused promotion of spiritual health in the infertile women.
Conclusion: This study indicated that existential psychotherapy is important to infertile women's spiritual health. It is therefore recommended to use existential psychotherapy to promote spiritual health in such women.
