Dual mediating effects of marital satisfaction and family decision-making power on the relationship between self-disclosure and depressive symptoms in IVF-ET/ICSI-ET patients: a cross-sectional study

Marital satisfaction and family decision-making power play a partial mediating role between self-disclosure and depressive symptoms. The score of marital satisfaction helps to reduce depressive symptoms, but the increase of family decision-making power predicts the increase of depressive symptoms. In addition, the results highlight gender differences in marital satisfaction and family decision-making power and the complexity of family relationships.
