Culminating Project: Care & Connect: An Evidence-Based Care Program for In Vitro Fertilization
Significant advancement in contemporary reproductive medicine provides hope to many individuals and couples who are trying to conceive. However, there can be a significant emotional cost to the IVF procedure, which frequently results in people experiencing higher levels of anxiety, depression, and shame. The goals and structure of an integrated behavioral intervention support program created especially for those receiving IVF therapy are explored throughout the literature review. By offering comprehensive psychological support and evidence-based interventions, the program seeks to address the psychological and psychosocial issues that are inherent in the IVF journey. Utilizing mindfulness practices, stress management techniques, and cognitive-behavioral therapy principles, the program provides participants with useful tools to manage the emotional impact of in vitro fertilization (IVF), build resilience, and cultivate a sense of empowerment throughout the treatment process.
