Summary

This is a two-arm, with equal randomization, parallel randomized controlled trial. It compares the efficacy of a couple-based Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit (I-BMS) group intervention to a waitlist control group in improving dyadic couple flourishing and fertility-related quality of life among couples who are diagnosed of infertility in Hong Kong. It also aims to investigate the dyadic associations between infertile husbands' and wives' baseline primary outcomes and changes in primary outcomes following the intervention.

BEHAVIORAL

Couple-based I-BMS intervention for infertility

It is based on the previous I-BMS intervention for women undergoing IVF treatment, and aims to improve fertility quality of life and couple flourishing by (1) increasing awareness of the interconnectedness between physical and psychosocial well-being, (2) practicing body-mind-spirit techniques, (3) facilitating personal growth and partner empathy and compassion, and (3) creating the shared meaning of life, family, children. As a strength-focused and meaning-oriented approach, it utilizes experiential and self-reflective exercises to help participants reconstruct the meaning behind their ordeal and rediscover the strengths that keep them going.
