Abstract

Given the high percentage of women who experience mental health problems and the great demand for infertility counseling, there is an urgent need to develop infertility counseling as evidence-based practice in Korea in near future. The purpose of this study was to review the current status of infertility counseling as evidence-based practice and provide suggestions and policy directions for infertility counseling in Korea. First, psychological distress and mental health status of infertile women or couples were briefly reviewed. Second, the purposes and content of infertility counseling were presented. Third, the empirical evidence of the efficacy of infertility counseling was reviewed. Forth, the requirements and training of infertility counselors in countries where infertility counseling has been integrated as a necessary component of infertility treatment such as UK, Germany, and Australia were reviewed. We need to develop cost-effective infertility counseling to meet the needs of Korean women and couples and monitor outcomes of the counseling which will be used as evidence and utilized to improve the efficacy of infertility counseling.
