This study assessed dyadically the relationship between psychosocial impact of infertility experienced by 87 couples and individual coping strategies, perceived social support and some medical factors. Although problem-focused strategies emerged as positive, certain side effects on partner were revealed. Social support was related to psychosocial outcomes in a positive way, cognitive component of coping strategies resulted as a prominent factor on individual's adjustment as well as the partner's role. Findings suggest the convenience of promoting the awareness about the effects of each partner's feelings, behaviors and beliefs on his/her individual's well-being in this field due to the interdependent context in which they are. Infertility counselors may foster this process by evaluating and educating to them about the functionality of these factors.
本研究评估了 87 对夫妇所经历的不孕不育心理社会影响与个体应对策略、感知社会支持和一些医学因素之间的双重关系。尽管问题聚焦策略表现为积极的，但对伴侣也揭示出某些副作用。社会支持与心理社会结局呈正相关，应对策略的认知成分是个体适应及其伴侣角色的重要因素。研究结果表明，由于他们所处的相互依存的背景，在这一领域中促进对每个伴侣的感受、行为和信念对其个体幸福感的影响的认识是很方便的。不孕不育咨询师可以通过评估和教育他们这些因素的功能来促进这一过程。
