dc.description.abstractInfertility is not only a medical but also a social problem in our society as culture may equate infertility with failure on personal, interpersonal, or social level. The aim of research study was to find out the relationship between perceived social support, emotional disclosure and mental health problems in women with primary and secondary infertility. Cross-sectional research was employed in current study. The sample consisted of 150 infertile women (primary infertility n=87, secondary infertility n=63) through purposive sampling from Lahore city. For assessment purpose, Multidimensional Scale Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Emotional Self-Disclosure Scale (ESDS) were used. Moreover, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) was used to find out the mental health problems of women with infertility. Results revealed that perceived social support and emotional disclosure is helpful in reducing mental health problems in infertile women. Age, education and family support were found to be significant predictors of mental health problems in infertile women. There was significant difference in primary and secondary infertile women in terms of social support, emotional disclosure and mental health problems. Results were explained according to cultural context and implications for counseling services.en_US
