What you'll learn
By completing this course, health professionals will able to:
- Discuss the four views on the etiology of infertility, the four commonly used infertility treatments and the empirical evidence on the psychological adjustment to infertility.
- Identify three of the common psychological responses to infertility treatment and individual differences in coping of males and females.
- Indicate the three main psychological techniques that facilitate adaptation to infertility and its treatment and their clinical application within the infertility population.
Course overview
It is estimated that 1 in every 6 couples of childbearing age experience some form of compromised fertility or medically diagnosable infertility. Whether or not to pursue infertility treatment and undergo assisted reproduction constitutes a major life decision for patients, decisions that are often accompanied by stressful medical procedures and psychological sequelae no matter what the outcome. The information in this course serves as a resource for mental health professionals and allied healthcare providers who work with infertile patients and highlights the need for a broad approach that encompasses the concerns of the individual, as well as the couple as a dyad and the family as a unit. The course discusses and addresses issues that present in the care of infertility patients. Broad theoretical models within Health Psychology and empirically-based infertility-specific data guide the course content.
