CONTEXT: Infertility is regarded as a trigger for psychological morbidity. Infertile couples often suffer from @entity148 , @entity308 and lack of self confidence. AIMS: To study the demographic factors associated with @entity249 in a tertiary care setup and to determine the level of @entity148 and @entity308 associated with it by using standardized scales. The study protocol also included studying the various coping strategies employed by these @entity1 groups. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Case control study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prestructured questionnaire based study conducted for a span of 6 months. The study population included the @entity1 attending the @entity249 and the family planning outpatient department. We applied the Hospital @entity148 and @entity308 scale (HADS) and the Becks @entity308 Inventory (BDI). Brief @entity5786 Inventory was applied to look for the various coping measures that are employed by the anxious and @entity308 @entity1 . STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Data analysis was done using SPSS ver20. RESULTS: A total of 280 study subjects were included in the study; which included 140 @entity1 from the @entity249 clinic and 140 from the family planning OPD. A total of 56.4% (79/140) of the females were found to be suffering from @entity308 and 68.9% (96/140) of the females were found to be suffering from @entity148 and @entity308 both. Seven risk factors were found to be significant for @entity308 based on the Beck @entity308 Inventory (BDI) scale and 6 risk factors were found to be significant based on the Hospital @entity148 and @entity308 Scale (HADS). The most common coping method employed by @entity308 @entity1 was venting 72.2% (57/79) followed by behavioural disengagement 70.9% (56/79); whereas the most important coping method employed by the anxious and @entity308 @entity1 was behavioural disengagement 71.9% (69/96). CONCLUSION: @entity148 and @entity308 is common among @entity1 suffering from @entity249 and measures should be taken to alleviate it.
