In terms of FPI subscales, the means were as follows: Sexual concern 21.80 (\u00b1\u20097.58), social concern 26.53 (\u00b1\u20098.94), relationship concern 26.02 (\u00b1\u20099.18), need for parenthood concern 40.88 (\u00b1\u20098.98), and rejection of childfree lifestyle 29.96 (\u00b1\u20097.69). The highest mean of FPI subscales was related to the need for parenthood concern in women with infertility. The strongest correlation was found between the subscales of sexual concern and social concern followed by sexual concern and relationship concern. The variables of PC-PTSD were a predictor of fertility problems (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.203, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001). Additionally, the variables of PC-PTSDwere a predictor of sexual concern (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.248, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001), social concern (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.237, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001), relationship concern (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.143, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.020), and need for parenthood concern (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.101, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.010). After adjusting for demographic characteristics, there was a significant relationship between FPI with job (\u03b2=-0.118, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.031), education (\u03b2=-0.130, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.023), living place (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.115, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.035), smoking (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.113, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.036), relationship with husband (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.118, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.027), and PC-PTSD symptom (\u03b2\u2009=\u20090.158, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001).
