With this research it was endeavoured to gain more knowledge about the experiences of women during the treatment of infertility. The midwife and other medical staff involved with the treatment of infertility can use this knowledge to have better insight into the total problem of these women and also care for and support them better. A study of the literature was done to determine what the experts have already ascertained of this phenomenon. An in-depth study of the phenomenon was undertaken in which the autobiographical method was used. During April 1989 unstructured interviews were conducted with six selected infertile women living in the Witwaterand area. From the findings of this research it appears that infertile women have unique experiences of their infertility and the treatment of it. Universal experiences, e.g. pain and disappointment were identified, although the causes of these experiences sometimes differed. Recommendations were made on how the midwife can contribute by filling the gap (established during the research) in the care in this field. Suggestions were also made with regard to further research on this phenomenon.
通过这项研究，旨在获取更多关于女性在不孕治疗期间经历的知识。参与不孕治疗的助产士和其他医务人员可以利用这些知识，更好地洞察这些女性的整体问题，并更好地照顾和支持她们。对文献进行了研究，以确定专家们对这一现象已经确定了哪些内容。采用自传体方法对这一现象进行了深入研究。1989年4月，对居住在威特沃特斯兰德地区的六名选定的不孕女性进行了无结构式访谈。从这项研究的结果来看，不孕女性对自己的不孕情况及其治疗有着独特的经历。虽然这些经历的原因有时有所不同，但也发现了一些普遍的经历，如痛苦和失望。针对助产士如何通过填补该领域护理方面的差距（研究期间确定的）提出了建议。还就这一现象的进一步研究提出了建议。
