The present study investigated the effect of an infertility coach as a supporter and counselor during infertility treatment on infertile women’s perceived stress. Due to the negative effects of stress and the existence of many new problems in treatment with ARTs such as lack of awareness of the treatment process, lack of support, lack of constant access to the treatment team, invasiveness of ARTs, and heavy treatment costs, these people face more challenges that reduce the possibility of successful treatment. It seems that the presence of a knowledgeable coach who can accompany the patient throughout the treatment process can reduce the level of stress. Therefore, the use of an accompanying coach along with the ARTs treatment team in the relevant centers is recommended due to the positive results of this study is significantly reducing stress in infertile women undergoing ARTs.
