Coping with infertility |
Secondary abstract: |
The diploma thesis is about coping with infertility. Fertility is still a desired value. When a couple is coping with infertility, it is confronted with different social expectations and strains. It also brings social stigma. During the process of coping with infertility partners go through different phases among which they are confronted with losses and stress. Infertility has an affect on the individual, the partnership, and also on the couple's everyday life activity.
In the empirical part I examined the theoretical findings with a couple, who was coping with infertility a few years ago. I used qualitative research method and made interviews separately with each partner. Analysis showed the differences in experiencing infertility among partners. Infertility had positive affect on relationship between partners, the biggest changes in relationship were in the area of sexuality. They coped in various ways with stress and losses. In everyday life they recognized the biggest changes in their social networks and they also felt a few social strains. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
Diplomsko delo govori o soočanju para z neplodnostjo. V družbi je plodnost še vedno zaželena vrednota. Ob soočanju z neplodnostjo je par deležen različnih družbenih pričakovanj in pritiskov, neplodnost pa pomeni tudi stigmo. Partnerja gresta ob soočanju z neplodnostjo skozi različne faze, med katerimi se srečujeta z izgubami in stresom. Neplodnost vpliva na posameznika in na odnos med partnerjema ter na delovanje para v vsakdanjem življenju.
Teoretične ugotovitve sem v empiričnem delu preverila s pomočjo para, ki se je pred nekaj leti srečal z neplodnostjo. Uporabila sem kvalitativno metodo raziskovanja in z vsakim partnerjem posebej izvedla intervju. Analiza rezultatov je pokazala, da se v doživljanju neplodnosti med partnerjema pojavljajo nekatere razlike. Izkušnja neplodnosti je na partnerski odnos vplivala pozitivno, največje spremembe v odnosu pa so se kazale na področju spolnosti. S stresom in izgubami sta se partnerja soočala na različne načine. V vsakdanjem življenju sta največje spremembe zaznala na področju socialnih stikov, čutila pa sta tudi nekaj družbenih pritiskov. |
