Cross-cultural comparison of fertility specific quality of life in German, Hungarian and Jordanian couples attending a fertility center

Table 3 Cross-country (between-couples) differences in joint FertiQoL-scores of the couples (F-value and PES for repeated-measures ANCOVAs post hoc adjusted with Bonferroni are shown)

Values marked bold: significant ANCOVA-differences after controlling for the mediating variables (age, educational level, duration of relationship, duration of child wish, duration of treatment, type of diagnosis, child with the partner)
M mean, SE standard error, PES partial eta square
*p < 0.05 **p < 0.01
^a significantly differed from values of both other countries at least at level p ≤ 0.01
^b significantly differed from Jordanian values at least at level p ≤ 0.05
