Background: Infertility affects millions of women worldwide and can lead to increased levels of stress and anxiety. Relaxation techniques have emerged as potential interventions to alleviate stress and anxiety in infertile women.
Aims/Objectives: The main objective was to assess the effectiveness of relaxation technique in reducing the stress and anxiety among infertile women undergoing infertility treatment in selected IVF center at Meerut.
Methodology: The research design which was adopted in the study was quasi experimental – Non randomized control group design. Participants were divided into two groups: an experimental group, which received relaxation techniques, and a control group, each consisting of six sample, total 12 women were selected using purposive sampling technique. The relaxation technique was given to the experimental group by conducting 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks period. The Infertility Related Stress Scale was used to measure stress and generalized anxiety disorder scale was used to measure anxiety score.
Results: Shows that 70.7% difference in stress level while comparing posttest value of experimental and control group and 71.02% difference in anxiety level while comparing post test value of experimental and control group. So we reject null hypothesis as P value is <0.05.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that the intervention applied to the experimental group significantly decreased stress levels and anxiety level as compared to the control group. These results highlight the substantial impact of the intervention (relaxation technique) on infertility-related stress and anxiety.
