Background:
This study evaluated an ethnotheatrical performance about infertility to bring awareness to the health condition and its impact on friendships.
Methods:
After each performance (N = 2), attendees participated in a talkback session to express thoughts and ask questions about the production; then, they completed a survey describing their overall experience. Analyses included descriptive statistics for Likert questions and a thematic analysis for open-ended responses.
Results:
Eighty-six percent of attendees found the performance informative about the challenges infertility imposes on everyday life, and more than 60% gained new information and advice on how to talk about infertility. The thematic analysis revealed three themes: learn about the complexities of infertility experiences, develop empathy towards individuals with infertility, and respond appropriately to individuals coping with infertility.
Conclusion:
The performance offered a safe environment for attendees to learn, understand, and process infertility's complex nature. Creating awareness influenced participants' perceptions and communicative behaviors.
