Data were collected between November 17, 2022 and January 9, 2023, and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 25.0 and SmartPLS version 4.0.9.2 with the path weighting scheme. Bootstrapping with 5,000 resamples was performed to estimate 95% confidence intervals.Results: Significant correlations were observed between infertile women and their spouses in infertility-related stress, dyadic coping, and subjective happiness, indicating mutual psychological influence within couples. Infertility-related stress in both women and spouses had actor effects on their own dyadic coping and subjective happiness. Women\u2019s dyadic coping had an actor effect on their own subjective happiness, whereas spouses\u2019 dyadic coping had a partner effect on women\u2019s subjective happiness. Among women with infertility, dyadic coping significantly mediated the association between infertility-related stress and subjective happiness. A significant partner-mediated effect was also observed for women\u2019s subjective happiness, whereas no significant mediating effect was found for spouses\u2019 own subjective happiness.Conclusion: Infertility-related stress was associated with subjective happiness through dyadic coping among women with infertility. In addition, spouses\u2019 infertility-related stress was indirectly associated with women\u2019s subjective happiness through spouses\u2019 dyadic coping. These findings suggest that interventions designed to strengthen dyadic coping may help reduce infertility-related stress and improve subjective happiness among infertile couples.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4040\/jkan.26047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,10]],"date-time":"2026-08-10T23:59:17Z","timestamp":1786406357000},"page":"421-433","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4040\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The
