Couples\u27 experience after unsuccessful assisted reproduction technology

Uvod: Danes imajo neplodni pari na voljo različne tehnike oploditve z biomedicinsko pomočjo, ki lahko pripomorejo pri uresničitvi želje po lastnem otroku. Kljub naprednim tehnikam zdravljenja ženske doživljajo neplodnost kot najbolj stresno situacijo v njihovem življenju in potrebujejo psihološko podporo in svetovanje. Namen: Z diplomskim delom smo želeli raziskati občutja, ki jih ženske doživljajo po neuspelem poskusu oploditve ter ugotoviti, na kakšen način se ženske spoprijemajo z neuspelimi poskusi zdravljenja. Metode dela: Pri pisanju diplomskega dela smo uporabili deskriptivno metodo dela. Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo s pregledom in analizo domače in tuje znanstvene in strokovne literature s področja oploditve z biomedicinsko pomočjo. Uporabljene so bile domače in tuje podatkovne baze: COBISS, DiKUL, PubMed, Google Schoolar in ScienceDirect. V delo je bila vključena literatura, objavljena med letoma 2001 in 2018, vključitveni kriteriji so bili angleški jezik, dostopnost celotnega besedila ter vsebinska ustreznost. V pregled je bilo vključenih šest študij. Rezultati: Pregled šestih vključenih študij je razkril, da se ženske med in po zdravljenju neplodnosti soočajo z velikim psihološkim naporom. Neuspešno zdravljenje ima negativen vpliv na samozavest in samopodobo ženske. Posledično ima lahko negativen vpliv tudi na partnersko zvezo in socialni vidik ženske. Za soočenje z neplodnostjo ženske pogosto uporabijo različne strategije spoprijemanja, ki so lahko v pomoč pri lažjem prehodu v življenje brez otrok. Razprava in zaključek: Neplodnost je najtežja preizkušnja v življenju para, zato je pomembno, da jima babica nudi dovolj koristnih informacij in jima predstavlja vir opore pri žalovanju ob neuspelem poskusu.Introduction: Today, infertile couples may use various techniques of fertilisation with biomedical help, which can help fulfill the desire for their own child. Despite advanced treatment techniques, women experience infertility as the most stressful situation in their life and require psychological support and counseling. Purpose: With the diploma thesis, we wanted to explore the feelings that women experience after an unsuccessful attempt of fertilisation and to find out how women cope with unsuccessful treatment. Methods: In the diploma thesis we used the descriptive method of work. Data collection was carried out by reviewing and analyzing national and international scientific and professional literature in the field of fertilisation with biomedical assistance. National and international databases were used: COBISS, DiKUL, PubMed, Google Schoolar and ScienceDirect. The diploma work included literature published between 2001 and 2018, inclusion criteria were as follows: written in English, accessibility of the entire text and content adequacy. Six studies were included in the review. Results: An overview of the six included studies revealed that women are experiencing great psychological stress during and after infertility treatment. Unsuccessful treatment has a negative impact on the self-esteem and self-image of a woman. Consequently, it can have a negative impact on partner relationship an the social environment of a woman. To cope with infertility, women often use different coping strategies that can help facilitate the transition to childlessness. Discussion and conclusion: Infertility is the most difficult experience in the life of a couple, and it is important that the midwife provides them with useful information and is a source of support for mourning in an unsuccessful attempt
