Materials & Methods This quasi-experimental study was conducted with pre-test post-test with control group. The statistical population of this study included all infertile women referred to the Sarem Infertility Treatment Center in Tehran during 2017-2018. Using purposive sampling method along with screening, 30 infertile women were selected and divided into two experimental and control groups (15 subjects for each group). For the experimental group, a course of real-therapeutic training program was held in 8 sessions of 90 minutes for 2 months. The instruments used in this research were Social Wellness and Rhubarb Noulen-Huxma Social Adjustment Questionnaires. The data were analyzed by SPSS software using one-way analysis of covariance.
Findings There was a significant difference between the mean scores of social adjustment (F=86.38; p=0.001) and rumination (F=59.08; p=0.001) in the post-test after training the reality therapy between the experimental and control groups, in such a way that the social adjustment of the experimental group increased compared with the control group and their rumination decreased.
