İnfertilite ve ruh sağlığı ilişkisi düşünüldüğünde, infertilite ve tedavisi için geçirilen sürecin bireyler üzerinde yoğun stres oluşturduğu ve bu stresin de infertilite ile geçirilen süreci uzattığı ve olumsuz etkilediği gibi bir kısır döngü şeması öne sürmek mümkündür. Bu çalışmanın amacı, özellikle infertilite tedavisi sürecinde kişilerin yaşamış olduğu travmatik yaşantıların EMDR ile çalışılmasının bu süreçteki depresyon, stres ve kaygı belirtilerine etkisini incelemektir. Çalışmamızda özellikle infertilite tedavisi döneminde yaşanan stresör olayların etkilerinin azaltılmasında bu olayların EMDR ile hedeflenmesinin bir seçenek olabileceği düşünülmüştür. Ayrıca Danışanların kaygı, stres seviyelerinin azalabileceği de varsayılabilir.

EMDR THERAPY IN INFERTILITY CASE: 3 CASE SERIES

Öz

Considering the relationship between infertility and mental health, it is possible to carry out a vicious circle scheme alone, which creates intense stress on the operation groups for infertility and its treatment, and this stress prolongs the process of infertility and its effects and has negative consequences. The aim of this study is to examine the traumatic experiences of the person in the past, especially during the infertility treatment, with EMDR, and to examine the symptoms of depression, stress and anxiety in this process. In our study, it was thought that targeting this with EMDR could be an option in reducing the stressors experienced especially during the infertility treatment period. In addition, it can be assumed that the anxiety and stress behaviors of the clients may decrease.
