| description | Introduction: The failure
of infertility treatment leads to individual, familial, and social problems.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the nursing
care program based on Watson’s "Theory of Human Caring" on anxiety and distress
caused by coping when the treatment fails.
Methods: This
study randomized controlled trial study was conducted from April to November
2012, with 86 Turkish women with infertility (intervention group: 45, control
group: 41). Follow-up of 32 infertile women, who failed infertility treatment
from intervention group, and 35 infertile women, who failed infertility
treatment from control group, continued for another four weeks. Data were
collected through Spiel Berger’s State/Trait Anxiety Inventory, Distress Scale,
and Ways of Coping Questionnaire. The analyses of data were conducted using
SPSS ver 13.
Results: The
intervention and control groups significantly differed in terms of anxiety,
distress, and coping levels. The intervention group’s mean anxiety score
decreased by thirteen points and distress by fourteen points (in a positive
direction). The intervention group’s mean positive coping style score
increased. Whereas a negative increase was observed in the control group’s
values depending on the failure of the treatment.
Conclusion: Watson’s theory of human caring is recommended
as a guide to nursing patients with infertility treatment to decrease levels of
anxiety and distress, and to increase the positive coping style among infertile
women. |
