Introduction
The failure of infertility treatment leads to individual, familial, and social problems. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the nursing care program based on Watsons "Theory of Human Caring" on anxiety and distress caused by coping when the treatment fails.Methods
This study randomized controlled trial study was conducted from April to November 2012, with 86 Turkish women with infertility (intervention group: 45, control group: 41). Follow-up of 32 infertile women, who failed infertility treatment from intervention group, and 35 infertile women, who failed infertility treatment from control group, continued for another four weeks. Data were collected through Spiel Bergers State/Trait Anxiety Inventory, Distress Scale, and Ways of Coping Questionnaire. The analyses of data were conducted using SPSS ver 13.Results
The intervention and control groups significantly differed in terms of anxiety, distress, and coping levels. The intervention groups mean anxiety score decreased by thirteen points and distress by fourteen points (in a positive direction). The intervention groups mean positive coping style score increased. Whereas a negative increase was observed in the control groups values depending on the failure of the treatment.Conclusion
Watsons theory of human caring is recommended as a guide to nursing patients with infertility treatment to decrease levels of anxiety and distress, and to increase the positive coping style among infertile women. Keywords:
