Abstract

This study highlighted the life quality and spiritual intellect in infertile couples. Sample of the study consisting of (42) couples recruited purposively to guarantee the representation of series of age, cultural background, and miscarriage experience. Data collected through reliability checkers to contain concepts such as life quality, perspectives of spirit, coping strategies and marital relationship among the persons suffering with infertility. Tests and the questionnaires that are verified, like in the case of WHO Quality of Life Instrument, Spiritual Well-Being Scale. Findings showed that infertile people have moderate and high quality of life levels in various life domains. The physical health aspect has the greatest mean score (mean = 72.4). In contrast to the overall environmental factors that are thought in a good way (mean = 70.1), showing a form of happiness with environmental conditions. The discriminating statistics uncover that the spiritual intellect of infertile couples manifest at high levels across different measures. While analyzing the effects of age on life quality, it is observed that there is a strong association between these variables. The older people report to higher level of life quality (β = 0.21, p < 0.05). The process of coping strategies proved to be very strongly associated with both quality of life (β = 0.30, p < 0.01) and spiritual intellect (β = 0.30, p < 0.01).
