Abstract

Infertility, a significant reproductive health issue, affects millions of women globally. This study explores the psychological dimensions of infertility by examining marital adjustment, mental health, and perceived social support among women in the Kashmir Valley. A sample of 120 women 60 fertile and 60 infertile was selected through purposive sampling from various regions of the valley. Data was collected from several hospitals, using established scales: the Marital Adjustment Scale (Pramod Kumar &KanchanaRohatgi, 1976), the Mental Health Inventory (Veit& Ware, 1983), and the Multi-dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet et al., 1988). The results revealed significant differences between infertile and fertile women in terms of mental health and perceived social support, with fertile women reporting higher levels of both. However, marital adjustment did not differ significantly between the two groups. Additionally, a strong positive correlation was found among marital adjustment, mental health, and perceived social support, suggesting interdependent psychological factors in the lives of women, regardless of fertility status.
