{"title":"A qualitative study on coping mechanisms utilized by women dealing with subfertility.","authors":"Amin Rehana, Ara Shabnum, Yoounus Mohammad, Mir Rabia Syed, Dar Mansoor Ahmad, Sameen Yetoo Duri","doi":"10.4103/ipj.ipj_211_25","DOIUrl":"10.4103/ipj.ipj_211_25","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Background: </strong>Subfertility is a significant reproductive health issue that carries profound implications, particularly for women in conservative societies. In South Kashmir, India, where motherhood is deeply tied to female identity, women with subfertility often face stigma, isolation, and emotional distress.

A qualitative, phenomenological approach was adopted. The participants were recruited through a purposive sampling technique. The participants were 18 women diagnosed with subfertility. Their coping skills were explored using in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis with NVivo software to identify recurring patterns in coping strategies.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Two themes, adaptive and maladaptive coping, were identified, each comprising five subthemes: emotional, behavioral, religious/spiritual, socio-cultural, and healthcare coping. Adaptive strategies included resilience, faith, support-seeking, and treatment adherence. In contrast, maladaptive responses featured emotional suppression, fatalistic beliefs, social withdrawal, and mistrust in healthcare systems. Many coping mechanisms were found to be interrelated and shaped by local socio-cultural and religious contexts.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Women in South Kashmir employ a spectrum of coping strategies to navigate the subfertility challenges.
