20对不孕夫妇参加了本研究，以调查心理，婚姻和性适应，特别是与他们在治疗的时间长度。施测工具为症状自评量表（SCL-90-R）、双元适应量表（DAS）和性满意度指数（1 SS）。研究结果表明，婚姻和性的调整并没有不利关系的时间长度不育夫妇一直寻求医疗照顾。然而，心理痛苦是明显的，特别是在治疗方案开始的时候。心理干预可能有助于使感觉正常化，提供与不孕症治疗经验相关的实用信息，评估应对技能，并评估期望。此外，临床医生必须对不孕夫妇双方进行任何类型的心理干预，无论哪一方接受治疗。
Twenty infertile couples participated in the present study to investigate psychological, marital, and sexual adjustment, specifically as related to length of time they had been in treatment. The instruments administered were the SCL-90-R (Symptom Checklist), Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), and Index of Sexual Satisfaction (1SS). Findings indicated marital and sexual adjustment did not adversely relate to length of time infertile couples had been seeking medical attention. However, psychological distress was evident, especially for husbands during the time when treatment regimens begin. Psychological intervention may help normalize feelings, provide practical information related to the experience of infertility treatment, assess coping skills, and evaluate expectations. In addition, clinicians must implement any type of psychological intervention with both members of the infertile couple, regardless of which spouse is receiving the medical treatment.
