Background: female infertility is viewed as a critical issue in the lives of women and has a major impact on various dimensions of their well-being. Aim of the study: determine the effect of continuous care model on health-related behaviors, satisfaction and quality of life among infertile women. Design and setting: a quasi-experimental, research design was applied, in the infertility clinic of the National Medical Institution, Damanhour, in Egypt's El-Beheira Governorate. Subjects: A convenience sample of 80 women experiencing infertility were randomly divided into two equal group, an intervention and control group 40 for each group. Tools: four tools were utilized: Tool (I) basic data structured interview schedule; Tool (II) health-related behaviors regarding infertility; Tool (III) the quality of Life questionnaire (QOL); and Tool (IV) satisfaction with Life scale. Results: A statistically significant difference in mean total scores is evident between the two examined groups, based on their engagement in behaviors related to health, their quality of life, and overall satisfaction after the intervention, in favor of the intervention group (p=<0.001). Moreover, a statistically significant positive relationship was observed among the intervention group between their quality of life, engagement in health-related behaviors and satisfaction level, with p-values of 0.001 and 0.015 respectively. Conclusion: introducing the continuous care model (CCM) into practise has a considerable positive impact on the health-related behaviours, satisfaction and quality of life regarding infertile women. Recommendations: it is advised that chronic patients, especially infertile women, employ the CCM as an efficient non-pharmacological solution
