Keywords:
infertility, counseling, quality of lifeAbstract
In the current thesis we aim to analyze the
psychological significance of infertility and the
psychological causes and consequences of infertility. In
the second part of the research, the experimental part,
we make the comparison between the level of quality of
life perceived by the infertile women and men, before
and after their participation to a medical program of
fertilization. By analyzing the results, we obtain
significant differences between women and men, from
the 4 indicators point of view: emotional, mind-body,
relational and social.
