The life-span developmental model for infertility people

本研究旨在建立不孕症患者的终身发育模型。采用定性和定量数据进行纵向研究和横断面研究。结果表明，不孕症接受量表由救济、否认、愤怒、讨价还价、抑郁和接受六个分量表组成。定量数据显示，解脱、愤怒、讨价还价、抑郁和接受会诱发人格发展。纵向数据分析表明，无论性别差异和是否有孩子，接受不孕症的过程包括治疗开始时的拒绝阶段，治疗期间的讨价还价和抑郁阶段，以及最终的接受阶段。定性数据显示不孕症患者报告了自己生活中不孕症的意义。本研究揭示了不孕症患者的生命发育模式，该模式是由不孕症的接受过程构成的。
