Abstract

The purpose of this qualitative study was to use interview data to identify and describe the intrapersonal, interpersonal, community, and policy barriers and facilitators experienced by South Korean women undergoing fertility treatment. The researchers conducted one-on-one interviews with 14 women who had undergone fertility treatment and then completed a thematic content analysis on the collected interview data. Guided by the socioecological model, the researchers explored the barriers and facilitators women experienced during fertility treatment. The participants described their struggles and -emotional distress as well as their coping mechanisms: addressing their physical and emotional stress; soliciting support from their husband, personal network, online peers, and healthcare team; and seeking government financial assistance. The information gained from this study can help healthcare providers and government agencies design effective psychosocial and national policies and interventions for this population.
