The couples included in the study were divided into two groups: study and control groups. All patients completed the demographic information scale, The COMPI Coping Strategy Scales, Golombok Rust Sexual Satisfaction Scale and Marital Adjustment Scale. Back massage was taught to the couples in the study group and the spouses were allowed to perform back massage during the infertility treatment. No intervention was applied in the control group.

Marital harmony and sexual satisfaction were found to be higher and stress levels were lower in couples who received back massage.
