Person Centered Care Approach in Infertility

Because of the long-term diagnosis and treatment processes in infertility, the need for holistic care in infertile individuals is a reality. Holistic care is based on the philosophy of life and the human being. Patient-centered and person-centered care approaches are known to be alternatives to the current biomedical model for infertile individuals. Patient-centered care has been subjected to negative criticism in terms of quality of care. The negative experiences of infertile individuals with respect to patient-centered care focus on the point that this approach is far from individualistic. Infertile individuals want to receive care that adapts to their preferences, needs and values. The aim of this article is to raise awareness in healthcare professionals by analyzing a person-centered care approach for a couple who was diagnosed with infertility. Person-centered care focuses on not only the pathophysiology, prognosis, and treatment of the disease but also the individual's experience. The quality of care given to infertile individuals should be assessed to the extent by which individuals cope and comply with this process rather than having a healthy child. In all stages of infertility, it should be accepted that individuals experience a care process based on this philosophy as a right beyond necessity. A person-centered approach includes the provision of individualized care. It is thought that the person-centered care approach plays an important role in improving the quality of nursing care.
