Özet: Since one of the aims of marriage in many societies is perceived as having children, fertility is a cultural, social and psychological requirement. While infertility is a social health issue, it is also a condition that affects couples and especially women negatively in biological, physical and psychosocial aspects. At the same time, the treatments for infertility are crisis situations that are both psychologically challenging, emotionally stressful, economically expensive and that have negative effects on the relationships of couples. Since nurses working in the infertility clinic are in direct contact with the couples during the infertility treatment, it is important that they identify possible problems earlier and support the couples by planning the appropriate nursing approach. With the counseling, training and social support that the infertility nurse can provide, the negative effects that may occur in time of crisis can be reduced. In this compilation study, it is aimed to examine the effect of infertility on couples within the scope of the literature and to emphasize the role of infertility nurse.
