This grounded theory study explored the perceptions of 25 couples as they underwent infertility assessment and treatment. A substantive theory of passage through infertility treatment explains the psychosocial responses of couples to their infertility from prediagnosis to posttreatment. The theory consists of three concepts--engagement, immersion and disengagement. Eight stages were identified within these concepts: experiencing a dawning of awareness, facing a new reality, having hope and determination, intensifying treatment, spiralling down, letting go, quitting and moving out, and shifting the focus.
这项扎根理论研究探讨了25对夫妇在接受不孕症评估和治疗过程中的看法。一个关于经历不孕症治疗过程的实质性理论解释了夫妇从诊断前到治疗后的心理社会反应。该理论由三个概念组成——参与、沉浸和脱离。在这些概念中确定了八个阶段:意识到问题、面对新现实、怀有希望和决心、强化治疗、情绪低落、释怀、放弃并走出困境,以及转移焦点。
