Stress, coping, infertility and infertility clinic.

Husbands and wives exposed to infertility perceive stress and present differently by using different coping strategies. The investigator conducted a comparative study to assess the level of stress and coping among husbands and wives attending infertility clinics of selected hospitals, Kolkata. Richard Lazarus and Folkman transactional model of stress and coping was the conceptual basis for the study. By non probability convenient sampling technique, 30 husbands and 30 wives were selected as sample and a valid, reliable (reliability of two tools computed by Cronbech’s alpha, are respectively 0.91 and 0.73), structured interview schedule was employed to collect data from infertility clinic of S.S.K.M Hospital, Kolkata. For statistical analysis Descriptive statistics, Unpaired ‘t’ test of equal variance, Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Chi square test were used. The result revealed that in four out of five subscale scores namely social concern “t”=4.40, sexual concern “t”=3.69, relationship concern “t”=2.53 and need for parenthood “t”=2.29 at df= 58 and 0.05 level of significance wives have significantly higher level of stress than husbands. There was no significant difference (“t”=0.87, df=58 at 0.05 level of significance) between coping of husbands and wives. There was significant association between coping of husbands and selected variables age, habitat, and years of treatment, while for wives only habitat had significant association. The study has implications in different fields of nursing. Psychological aspect of infertility and difference in level of stress between husbands and wives should be considered in treatment and nursing care to decrease psychological suffering and fruit-bearing outcome.
