Abstract

For a couple, facing the reality of not being able to have a biological baby is an unexpected and stressful situation that makes them totally change their lives. When compared with the general population, infertility and its treatment make the infertile couples experience anxiety, depression, a low quality of life, and sexual dysfunction. Infertility causes women to experience depression, anxiety, and sexual desire disorders, and their quality of life and emotional wellness can be affected in negative ways as well. Men who have undergone infertility treatment can feel emotional deprivation, low self-esteem, a loss of confidence, incompetence, loneliness, guilt, fear, anger, shame and disappointment. Counseling will help couples cope with their feelings of sorrow and grief that have resulted from being infertile. Counseling will also help them use defense mechanisms in order to support each other, make co-decisions and solve the problems caused by gender differences. The infertility counseling team must consist of physicians, embryologists, and infertility nurses along with psychologists, psychotherapists, and psychiatrists. Nurses are one of the most important members of the infertility team and play a key role in providing humanistic care to infertile individuals and couples during this difficult process

Özet

Bir çiftin biyolojik çocuk sahibi olma yeteneğine sahip olmadıklarını öğrenmeleri, beklenmedik, stresli ve hayatlarını değiştirecek bir deneyim olmaktadır. Genel nüfus ile karşılaştırıldığında, infertilite ve infertilite tedavisi sürecinde olan bireylerde kaygı, sıkıntı, depresif belirtiler, azalmış benlik saygısı ve azalmış cinsel tatmin daha fazla görülmektedir. Kadında depresyon, anksiyete, cinsel fonksiyon bozukluğu artmakta, duygusal iyilik hali ve yaşam kalitesi olumsuz yönde etkilenmektedir. Erkek kaynaklı infertilite tedavisinde, erkekler de düşük benlik saygısı, özgüven kaybı, beceriksizlik düşüncesi, izolasyon, yalnızlık, suçluluk, korku, öfke, utanç, hayal kırıklığı gibi sorunlar yaşayabilmektedir. Danışmanlık, birey/çiftin yaşadığı üzüntü ve suçlulukla ilgili sorunların ifade edilmesini ve baş etme mekanizmalarını kullanabilmesini, eşlerin birbirlerini desteklemesini, ortak kararlar alınmasını ve cinsiyet faklılıklarından kaynaklanan sorunların çözümünü sağlayacaktır. Danışmanlık verecek ekipte hekim, embriyolog, infertilite hemşiresi ile birlikte psikolog, psikoterapist, psikiyatrist de bulunmalıdır. İnfertilite tedavi ekibinin önemli üyelerinden biri olan hemşireler, infertil birey/çiftlerin yaşadıkları bu zor süreçte sağladıkları hümanistik bakım ile anahtar rol oynamaktadır.
