Abstract
The present study aimed to develop an enhancement program for coping with Failed Assisted Reproductive Technology Trials. The study was an experimental one, it was conducted at IVF center of Ain Shams Maternity Hospital in Ain Shams University. The total sample represented all couples undergoing IVF trial collected in a period of six month (110 couple). Five tools of data collection were used included: Structured Interviewing Questionnaire, Coping Strategy Stress Scale, Ways of Coping (WOC) Questionnaire, Follow up Card and PLISSIT Model for Counseling. The main results of the study showed that wives have more (personal, social and marital) stressful experiences than husbands. While they both frequently use a combination of strategies to cope, study showed different coping behaviors to deal with their infertility (meaning-based coping & passive avoidance coping strategy), Husbands scores were significantly lower than before counseling with regard to passive avoidance strategy with t= 2.29, and wives scores were significantly higher than before with regard to meaning-based strategy with t= 4.28. So this study recommended investigating factors influencing the efficacious use of coping strategies as well as compare gender differences in reactions to infertility with other stressful health situations.
