DVOŘÁKOVÁ, Alena
Infertility is the inability to naturally conceive a child or to carry a pregnancy to full term. There are many reasons why a couple may not be able to conceive, or may not be able to conceive without medical assistance. Infertility may have profound psychological effects. Partners may become more anxious to conceive. Marital discord often develops in infertile couples, especially when they are under pressure to make medical decisions. Women trying to conceive often have clinical depression. Even couples undertaking IVF face considerable stress, especially the female partner. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a technique in which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the woman's womb. IVF is a major treatment in infertility when other methods of achieving conception have failed. The process involves hormonally controlling the ovulatory process, removing eggs from the woman's ovaries and letting sperm fertilise them in a fluid medium. The fertilised egg (zygote) is then transferred to the patient's uterus with the intent to establish a successful pregnancy. In this study ten couples using fertility treatment were analysed. The purpose of this study was to follow and describe their problems during the treatment, troubles with partners, jobs and friends. The author tried to find a solution how to communicate with patients, how to help them to manage the treatment. The elected experimental strategy was qualitative analysis. This study could be used by stuff in centres of artificial reproduction.
