Little is known about how women with bipolar disorder construct and experience reproductive life events across the lifespan. We analyzed qualitative data from 29 semi-structured interviews with women aged 22-63 years (reproductive, menopause and post-menopause phases) using thematic analysis through a social constructionist framework. Themes of "Losing a sense of self-agency and self-worth" contained accounts of feeling out of control because of both bipolar disorder and reproductive life events. "Building a sense of personal autonomy and positive self-image" included accounts of acceptance and management of mood change over time, particularly for women in menopause and post-menopause life phases.
关于双相情感障碍女性如何在整个生命周期中构建和体验生殖生活事件，我们所知甚少。我们通过社会建构主义框架，运用主题分析法，对29名年龄在22至63岁（生殖期、更年期和绝经后期）女性的半结构化访谈的定性数据进行了分析。“失去自我能动性和自我价值感”这一主题包含了因双相情感障碍和生殖生活事件而感到失控的描述。“建立个人自主性和积极的自我形象”包括随着时间推移对情绪变化的接受和管理的描述，特别是对于处于更年期和绝经后期生活阶段的女性。
