Two groups of subjects (couples seeking medical treatment for infertility and couples not yet attempting to conceive) completed questionnaires assessing the impact of infertility on their marriages and self-concept. Infertile individuals experienced greater dissatisfaction with themselves and their marriages. Females experienced greater discontent over time and had greater emotional investment than males. Infertile couples, labeled noncommunicators, were found to be affected even more by infertility. Nurses can play vital roles in counseling infertile couples.
两组受试者(寻求不孕治疗的夫妇和尚未尝试受孕的夫妇)完成了问卷调查,以评估不孕对他们婚姻和自我概念的影响。不孕个体对自己和他们的婚姻有更大的不满。随着时间的推移,女性比男性有更大的不满,并且情感投入更多。被贴上不善于沟通标签的不孕夫妇被发现受不孕影响更大。护士在为不孕夫妇提供咨询方面可以发挥至关重要的作用。
