Abstract

Objective: The objective of this review is to identify and synthesize the best available evidence on the experiences of adults participating in infertility support groups to understand the value of support groups for this population.

Introduction: Infertility can impact a person physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially. Infertility support groups may represent a beneficial tool that these adults can utilize to improve their quality of life. The findings may inform or promote more effective and appropriate health care and, based on the results, a change in the standard of care for the treatment of infertility.

Inclusion criteria: This review will consider studies that include infertile women, men and couples of any age, race or marital status, in any geographic region and with any co-morbidity who participate in infertility support groups. Studies published in English that focus on qualitative data, without any restriction of year of publication, will be considered. This review will consider studies that utilize any media of material for infertility support groups.

Methods: The key information sources to be searched are: CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus, MedNar and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses. A three-step search strategy will be undertaken to find both published and unpublished studies and will include searching of reference lists within articles selected for critical appraisal. Each of the included studies will be assessed for methodological quality independently by two reviewers, and findings will be extracted and synthesized.
