Abstract

A scientific article that explores how to communicate the diagnosis of infertility to patients and provides some practical advice for improving breaking bad news in clinical practice. The article is based on a systematic literature review of qualitative and quantitative studies on this topic, which found a lack of specific guidelines and protocols for this field. The article suggests an adaptation of the SPIKES protocol, which is a six-step method for delivering bad news, originally developed for oncology settings. The article also discusses the importance of patient-centered care, communication skills, information provision, and psychological support for patients who suffer from infertility.
