Purpose : A phenomenological study was conducted to investigate the experiences of infertile women who had an artificial insemination attempt and the structure of these experiences was identified in a social-cultural context.
Method : In depth interview were done with seven participants from June 2006 to Sept. 2006. Data was recorded and analysed by Colazzi"s method.
Result : Significant statements were extracted from the data resulting in 5 themes and 17 concepts. The significant themes of participants experiences with artificial insemination emerged as : “Mind which it wishes earnestly”, “Falling process”, “Conquer the process”, “Only my burden”, "Disappearing hope“.
Conclusion : The results indicate that the care of infertile women with an unsuccessful artificial insemination attempt should be based on a deep understanding of their personal experiences. Also, information on alternative choice should be offered and supported.
