dc.description.abstractResearch question: What effects do training programmes based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) techniques applied to infertile women affected psychologically and emotionally by infertility have on post -traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and psychological development? Design: This randomized controlled study was conducted between May 2021 and August 2022. The study population included 90 infertile women referred to the IVF unit of a hospital in a province in eastern Turkey: 30 in the CBT group, 30 in the EMDR group and 30 in the control group. Data were collected using a personal information form, the Subjective Units of Disturbance Scale (SUDS), the Validity of Cognition (VoC) scale, the Infertility Distress Scale (IDS), the Impact of Event Scale -Revised (IES-R) and the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). Women in the experimental groups (CBT and EMDR groups) received the intervention in six sessions over 3 weeks. Pre-tests were administered to both experimental groups and the control group, and post-tests were conducted 3 weeks after the intervention. Results: The mean scores on the SUDS, IDS and IES-R for women in the experimental groups were significantly lower compared with those for women in the control group following the interventions (P < 0.001). The mean scores on the VoC scale and PTGI for women in the experimental groups were significantly higher compared with those for women in the control group following the interventions (P < 0.001). Conclusion: The use of CBT and EMDR techniques reduced the negative psychological and emotional effects of infertility among infertile women.en_US
