METHODS: This systematic review was conducted without any time limitation (Retrieval date: July 1, 2023) in international databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Google Scholar. The search was performed by two reviewers separately using keywords such as QOL, infertility, and men. Studies were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of the articles were evaluated based on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. In the initial search, 308 studies were reviewed, and after removing duplicates and checking the title and abstract, the full text of 87 studies were evaluated.
RESULTS: Finally, 24 studies were included in the final review based on the research objectives. Based on the results, men\'s QOL scores in different studies varied from 55.15 ± 13.52 to 91.45 ± 13.66%. Of the total reviewed articles, the lowest and highest scores were related to mental health problems and physical dimensions, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: The reported findings vary across various studies conducted in different countries. Analysis of the factors affecting these differences is necessary, and it is recommended to design a standard tool for assessing the quality of life of infertile men. Given the importance of the QOL in men experiencing infertility, it is crucial to consider it in the health system. Moreover, a plan should be designed, implemented and evaluated according to each country\'s contex to improve the quality of life of infertile men.

结果:最后,根据研究目标,最终审查包括24项研究。根据结果,不同研究中男性的QOL得分从55.15±13.52到91.45±13.66%不等。在所有审查的文章中,最低和最高的分数与心理健康问题和身体维度有关,分别。
结论:报道的发现在不同国家进行的各种研究中有所不同。分析影响这些差异的因素是必要的,建议设计一种标准工具来评估不育男性的生活质量。鉴于QOL在经历不孕症的男性中的重要性,在卫生系统中考虑它是至关重要的。此外,应该设计一个计划,根据每个国家的contex实施和评估,以提高不育男性的生活质量。
