不孕症的社会心理影响受到文化因素的影响。在这项跨文化定性研究中，我们探讨了生活在巴基斯坦的6名妇女和生活在英国的8名妇女的不孕症经历。尽管英国和巴基斯坦的不孕妇女有许多共同的经历，这些经历与她们自己对母亲的渴望和他人的希望有关，但她们也面临着由文化背景塑造的独特的心理社会挑战。根据我们的研究结果，我们建议需要更多的资源和网络来支持女性，特别是生活在除了母亲之外几乎没有其他社会角色的文化中的女性。
The psychosocial impact of infertility is affected by cultural factors. In this cross-cultural qualitative study we explored the experience of infertility among six women living in Pakistan and eight living in the UK. Although infertile women in the UK and Pakistan had many shared experiences related to their own desires for motherhood and the hopes of others, they also faced unique psychosocial challenges shaped by cultural context. Based on our findings, we suggest a need for further resources and networks to support women, particularly women living in cultures that allow women few fulfilling social roles other than motherhood.
