In a cross sectional study, 148 couples were recruited: 79 couples undergoing ART, 25 infertile couples in their first medical appointment in an infertility centre and no previous ART treatments and 44 childless couples in reproductive age without infertility history. Measures assessed emotional adjustment, quality of life, marital relationship and infertility stress. Couples were the focus of the analysis. Results indicated that couples undergoing ART presented more adjustment difficulties, especially women. No significant differences were found in marital adjustment, althoughART couples idealized their marital relationship to a higher degree. Results are discussed in terms of clinical implications and future research directions. 2010 artículo científico 1645-0086 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=36219023010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=362 Psicologia, Saúde e Doenças application/pdf Sociedade Portuguesa de Psicologia da Saúde Psicologia, Saúde e Doenças (Portugal) Num.2 Vol.11 |
