Aims: Infertility has many psychological effects on infertile people. One of the interventions designed to help infertile women is mindfulness. So far, several studies have examined the effect of mindfulness on infertile people. This meta-analytical study was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based interventions on the success rate of infertility treatments in infertile women.
Information & Methods: In this review study, articles published between 1990 and 2020 were searched in international databases such as Web of Science, Google Scholar, Scopus, Proquest, and PubMed and Iranian databases such as Irondoc, Magiran, SID, using keywords of “Mindfulness”, “Intervention”, “Infertility”, “Assisted Reproductive Treatments” and “Health Promotion”. Then, based on the Consort checklist, the full text of the selected articles was reviewed, and the articles with the highest score were included in the study. Data analysis was done using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis statistical software version 2.2.064.
Findings: Finally, four articles were reviewed. The results of the meta-analysis showed the effect of mindfulness on the success of treatment, and the chance of pregnancy in the mindfulness group was 2.895 times that of the control group, so the percentage of pregnancy in the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Mindfulness-based interventions increase the success rate of infertility treatments in infertile women.
