A counseling approach with persons experiencing infertility: implications for advanced practice nursing
1Duquesne University School of Nursing, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Abstract:
A program of research on human responses to infertility revealed three salient concepts: sense of self/identity, meaning, and quality of life. These three concepts provided the foundation for a theoretical basis to develop strategies for a counseling intervention with persons experiencing infertility. Advanced practice nurses can assume key roles in carrying out such strategies. The strategies include assisting patients with infertility to make decisions regarding treatment, focus on successful aspects of self, move on with life despite treatment outcome, and cultivate and maintain interpersonal relationships.
