(1988), and mental health inventory by veit and ware (1983). to analyze the obtained data, spearman correlation coefficient (using spss software) and path analysis (using lisrel statistical software) were used.results: as evidenced by the obtained results, the structural model has an acceptable fit with the collected data. moreover, integrative self-knowledge and social support were, directly and indirectly, related to mental health in infertile women with the mediating role of perceived stress. integrative self-knowledge, social support, and perceived stress accounted for a total of 42% of the mental health variance in infertile women.conclusions: considering the effects of psychological factors on infertility, as well as the adverse effects of infertility on couples' lives, it can be concluded that the assessment of psychological factors and their improvement can be of great help to infertile women.
