چکیده

 
مادری، یکی از انتظارات جنسیتی معاصر از زنان و به‌عنوان امری بدیهی، مقدس و انگاره‌ای قوام‌یافته در جامعه‌پذیری جنسیتی زنان تبلور دارد. برمبنای چنین باور قوی و ارزش محوری پیرامون مادری، ناباروری در نقطه مقابل، به‌مثابه یک نقص برای زن است. بر این اساس، زنان نابارور، با چالش‌ها و مشکلات اجتماعی متعددی مواجه می‌شوند که فراتر از ناباروری به‌مثابه یک امر بیولوژیکی و پزشکی است و درواقع نوعی تجربه زیسته متفاوتی را برای آنان رقم می‌زند. پس از مروری بر نظریات هویت، کنش متقابل و رویکردهای فرهنگی و رویکرد زیستی-روانی- اجتماعی، از 4 مفهوم برساخت ناباروری، انگ (داغ) ناباروری، فقدان و اندوه و هویت نقش استفاده شد. بر این اساس سؤال اصلی پژوهش حاضر این است که زنان نابارور چه ناکامی‌هایی را در طی تجربه ناباروری خود درک می‌کنند و برای آن‌ها چه معنایی دارد؟ این پژوهش مبتنی بر رویکرد کیفی و روش تحلیل تماتیک به‌وسیله نرم‌افزار کیفی  Max Q.D.A. بر روی مصاحبه‌های نیمه عمیق و نیمه ساختمند با 20 زن نابارور است که در مشهد ساکن هستند. بر اساس یافته‌های تحقیق، تجربه زنان از ناباروری به 3 مضمون اصلی: هویت مادری تعلیق یافته، ادراک بدن ناقص و درمان ناتمام اشاره دارد.

چکیده [English]

 
Motherhood is a central factor in the acquisition of women's identity, and it is crystallized as a clear, sacred, and consistent image in the gender socialization of women. Based on such a strong belief and core value around motherhood, infertility and not being a mother are considered a defect for women. Based on this, infertile women face many challenges and social problems beyond infertility, such as physical and medical issues, creating a different lived experience for them. After reviewing the theories of identity, interaction, cultural approaches, and biological-psychological-social approach, four concepts of infertility construction, infertility stigma, loss and grief, and role identity were used. Based on this, the central question of the current research is: what failures do infertile women perceive during their infertility experience, and what does it mean to them? This research is based on a qualitative approach and the application of thematic analysis using Max Q.D.A qualitative software. It is based on semi-in-depth and semi-structured interviews with 20 infertile women who live in Mashhad. The findings of this research show that women's experience of infertility refers to 3 main themes: suspended maternal identity, imperfect body perception and incomplete treatment.
