The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between QOL and IT of childbearing with the mediating role of RT in couples with infertility in Shahrekord City, Iran.Method: This analytical correlational study was conducted among 196 couples with infertility who were referred to Shahrekord Infertility Center, Iran selected by a convenient sampling method. Data were collected using the questionnaires on QOL provided by the World Health Organization (WHO), IT designed by Flex and Religious Teaching.Results: The mean score of QOL was 76.42± 20.137, IT 32.20± 9.019 and RT was 150.84± 40.97. A significant relationship was found between the mean scores of QOL and IT of childbearing with the mediating role of RT in couples with infertility (P=0.001). Moreover, mean scores of study concepts had no significant relationship with demographic variables (gender, education, and infertility duration) among the participants.Conclusion: Based on the findings, the QOL of couples with infertility can be improved by strengthening the RT and reducing the IT of childbearing.
