Experiences of psychological interventions for women and men undergoing assisted reproductive technologies: A qualitative systematic review
The study reveal that psychological interventions were favorable for women and men undergoing ART with perceived lower stress levels and anxiety symptoms. Participants from the included studies also expressed better coping skills. Both women and men in the included studies highlighted that future interventions should provide adequate educational information on ART, teach individualized coping skills, and offer psychological support, specifically for those with unsuccessful ART outcomes. Moreover, couple-based interventions should be further explored from varied geographical and cultural backgrounds.
