Quality of life and its determinants in women with delayed conception in low-mid socioeconomic neighbourhoods of Northern India: a cross-sectional study
Indian women experiencing delayed conception have reduced QoL, particularly in emotional and mind-body domains, due to various psychosocial and socioeconomic challenges. The FertiQoL questionnaire proved to be a reliable and valid tool for assessing QoL in this context. Psychosocial interventions addressing emotional, social and economic stressors are urgently needed to improve their well-being. Future research should include men to better understand the holistic challenges faced by couples struggling to conceive.
