dc.description.abstractPurpose: This study aimed to determine the levels of maternal and paternal attachment and the factors that affect them in individuals who had a baby after infertility treatment. Methods: This study followed a descriptive cross-sectional design in accordance with STROBE guidelines. The research was conducted in the infertility clinic of a university hospital and included 128 participants, consisting of 64 mothers and 64 fathers. Data were collected using the 'Personal Information Form-Mother', 'Personal Information Form-Father', 'Maternal Attachment Inventory (MAI)', and 'Postnatal Paternal-Infant Attachment Questionnaire (PPAQ)'. Results: The study found that the mothers had an average MAI score of 102.35 +/- 3.05, while the fathers had an average PPAQ score of 82.21 +/- 4.27. A significant correlation was observed between the mothers' MAI score and the duration of their marriage. Similarly, a significant correlation was observed between the fathers' PPAQ score and the duration of their marriage, the duration of their infertility diagnosis, and the duration of their infertility treatment (p < 0.05). The correlation analysis between the MAI score and the mean score of the PPAQ's subscale of pleasure in interaction was weakly significant and positive (r = 0.26; p = 0.032). However, there was no significant relationship between the MAI score and the PPAQ score (r = 0.18; p = 0.146). Conclusions: The study findings indicate that parents who conceive through infertility treatment exhibit high levels of attachment to their babies. Healthcare professionals should assess the attachment levels of both mothers and fathers who have undergone infertility treatment and be mindful of the factors that influence it.
