I would like to conclude this article by making a special appeal to nurses and related health care professionals to appreciate the special needs of the infertile couple. In being denied a pregnancy and parenting experience when they truly desire it, they are faced with a life crisis of major proportions. It is the goal of the person who counsels infertile couples to help them resolve the crisis positively, and to develop new insights and strengths as a result. The infertile couple who so earnestly desire a family deserve respect and attention. They should be seen as having a legitimate health problem which has attendant emotional issues and overtones. Though they are rarely physically ill and do not usually find themselves incapable of performing their work and living functions, this neglected population suffers an enormous toll in the quality of their life. Health care professionals must be aware of the special feelings and issues of the infertile couple.
在本文结尾，我想特别呼吁护士及相关医疗保健专业人员，要理解不孕夫妇的特殊需求。当他们真心渴望怀孕和育儿体验却无法实现时，他们面临着一场重大的生活危机。为不孕夫妇提供咨询的人的目标，是帮助他们积极地解决这场危机，并因此获得新的见解和力量。如此热切渴望拥有家庭的不孕夫妇理应得到尊重和关注。他们应被视为患有合理的健康问题，这伴随着情感问题和影响。尽管他们很少身患身体疾病，通常也不会觉得自己无法履行工作和生活职能，但这个被忽视的群体在生活质量方面承受着巨大的代价。医疗保健专业人员必须意识到不孕夫妇的特殊感受和问题。
