Abstract: Objective: The aim of this study is to determine the violence experienced by women undergoing infertility treatment and to evaluate its effects on quality of life and marital adjustment. Method: This descriptive study was carried out with 215 women who applied to the outpatient clinic of an university hospital infertility outpatient clinic for infertility treatment. In the study, data were collected using a personal information form, the Infertile Women’s Exposure to Violence Determination Scale, the Fertility Quality of Life Scale, and the The Dyadic Adjustment Scale. The obtained data were analyzed with the SPSS 22.0 program.Results: The mean age of the participants was 29.66±6.16. It was determined that 38.6% of the participants had an infertility period of 1-2 years, 41.9% of them 3-6 years, 8.4% of them 7-10 years, 11.2% of them 11 years and above. It was determined that 28.4% of the participants had infertility problems related to women, 17.2% to men, 21.4% to both spouses, and 33% to unexplained reasons. The score they got from the violence scale was 43.66±17.95, and they were exposed to the highest domestic violence and the lowest exclusion. There was a completely negative and significant relationship between violence and quality of life, and a positive and weak relationship between violence and dyadic adjustment level.Conclusion: As a result of the research, it was determined that the quality of life and marital harmony of infertile women exposed to violence were affected. While giving care to couples receiving infertility treatment, health professionals should consider domestic violence and gender inequalities and raise awareness to raise public awareness about them. Infertile groups should be considered as vulnerable groups and more careful care should be given.
