AB - Background: Infertility is one of the most common problems of women that always has negative psychological consequences for infertile women. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate and compare the effectiveness of reality therapy and interaction behavior analysis approach on character strength in infertile women. Materials and methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest and posttest design with a control and follow-up group of 45 days. The research population was infertile women who referred to Ibn Sina Infertility Clinic in Tehran in 2018. 45 people were randomly assigned to 3 groups (each 15 people). Experimental groups were trained in 10 sessions of 90 minutes with reality therapy methods and interaction behavior analysis approach and the control group was not trained. Data with demographic information form and competency questionnaire behavior (VIA-IS) was analyzed by chi-square, multivariate analysis of variance and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS software version 22. Results: The results showed that there was a significant difference between the effectiveness of reality therapy and interaction behavior analysis on character strength in infertile women (P <0.05); in other words, reality therapy had a greater effect on character strength in infertile women than interaction behavior analysis (P <0.05). Conclusion: Considering the effectiveness of reality therapy on the character strength of infertile women, it is necessary to pay attention to this approach in order to accept the problem of infertility and reduce its consequences in infertile women, along with medical treatments.
