本文讨论了不孕不育的悖论和解释模型不孕夫妇构建解决这些问题。该分析是基于对53对不孕夫妇和10对通过怀孕和收养实现父母身份的过程中没有生育障碍的夫妇的多次采访,以及对三对不孕夫妇在生完最后一个孩子后一到两年的单独采访。夫妇从功能、行为、经验和现象学的角度定义不孕症,以创建解释性模型,这些模型的核心是五个组织原则之一:a)一旦不孕,总是不孕; B)一旦生育,总是生育; c)生育但处方不孕; d)怀孕作为不孕症的治疗方法; d)足够不孕但未证明不孕。这些模型有助于整合不孕夫妇的痛苦和胜利经历,并赋予其目的。
This paper addresses the paradoxes of infertility and the explanatory models infertile couples construct to resolve them. The analysis is based on multiple interviews with 53 infertile couples and a comparison group of 10 couples with no fertility impairments in the process of achieving parenthood through pregnancy and adoption, and single interviews with three infertile couples one to two years after having their last child. Couples defined infertility functionally, behaviourally, empirically and phenomenologically to create explanatory models that had one of five organising principles at their core: a) once infertile, always infertile; b) once fertile, always fertile: c) fertile but infertile by prescription; d) pregnancy as cure for infertility; and d) infertile enough but not proven infertile. These models served to integrate and give purpose to infertile couples' experiences of pain and triumph.
