Objective:To explore the relationship of infertility-related stress and depression of infertility women, and the effect of coping style and resilience in it.Methods:A cross sectional study was conducted in 230 infertility women who treated with Assisted Reproductive Technology in Reproductive Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University using convenience sampling method from April 2020 to April 2021 with self-made general information questionnaire, Fertility Problem Inventory, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire, 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item. And correlation and effect analysis was conducted.Results:Two hundred and nineteen questionnaires were finally collected, the effective recovery rate was 95.2%(219/230). The score of Fertility Problem Inventory was (136.21 ± 27.38) points, the score of Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire was (34.26 ± 7.66) points, the score of 10-item Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale was (27.50 ± 6.78) points, the score of Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item was (4.26 ± 3.83) points. Correlation analysis results showed that infertility-related stress of infertility women was positively correlated with negative coping ( r=0.20, P<0.01) and depression ( r=0.26, P<0.01), negative coping was positively correlated with depression ( r=0.23, P<0.01). Effect analysis results showed that negative coping had a partial mediating effect between infertility-related stress and depression, and the mediating effect size was 0.05, accounting for 15.63% of the total effects. Resilience moderated the second half path of the mediation relationship ( β=-0.137, t=-2.11, P<0.05). Conclusions:The infertility-related stress is a positive predictor of depression. Negative coping has a mediating effect between infertility-related stress and depression, and resilience moderates the effect of negative coping on depression.
