Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effect of relaxation techniques on stress on infertile women undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection. Subjects: Forty primary infertile women participated in this study. They were recruited randomly from outpatient clinic of the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the National Research Centre in Giza. Their ages were ranged from 25 to 35 years old. Their body mass index was from 20 to 28 kg/m².They were selected two months before Intracytoplasmic sperm injection intervention. It was the first time for all of them to undergo the Intracytoplasmic sperm injection procedure. Women with previous treatment using In vitro fertilization and/or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection methods, cases of Pre- implantation Genetic Diagnosis, history of psychiatric condition or using drugs or mental medicine, unplanned change of treatment type, e.g. from insemination to In vitro fertilization due to too many follicles, anemia, diabetes mellitus, thyroid dysfunctions were excluded from the study. Design: Design of the study was pre and post experimental study. They were divided randomly into two groups equal in number; Group A (Control group) consisted of 20 women and treated by ICSI without stress management. Group B (Study group) consisted of 20 women and treated by Intracytoplasmic sperm injection and relaxation exercises for stress management for 45- 60 minutes, 2 times/ week for 8 weeks in addition to home program for two weeks and advice about controlling stressful conditions after embryo transfer. Evaluation: Newtons fertility stress questionnaire was completed in three stages; before Intracytoplasmic sperm injection by two months, pre-embryo transfer and pre-pregnancy test. For women who could not attend in the laboratory due to the far distance, the questionnaire was completed carefully through the phone with adequate time and the results of the pregnancy test also were confirmed through the phone. Results: Results of this study revealed that; within groups, Fertility problem inventory value at pre-embryo transfer and pre-pregnancy test were significantly increased in group A and significantly decreased in group B when compared with its corresponding value measured at pre- treatment
