摘要
The literature supports the efficacy of psychological intervention (psychosocial and psychotherapeutic) for infertile couples. A substantial number of studies show the negative psychological impact of fertility treatments on couples, and the positive effects of psychosocial counselling and other specific psychological interventions for managing anxiety, depression and stress during reproductive technology procedures. Here we present a protocol for guiding clinical intervention, including strategic goals and content. The programme can be used for professional training or for psychological services in infertility units. Finally, some suggestions for professionals working in this field are included, with the aim of promoting good healthcare practices among them, for their clients and for health services.
