다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose This study analyzed the concept of dyadic coping in infertile couples using Rodgers' evolutionary concept analysis method to clarify its attributes and provide a foundation for nursing interventions. Methods A comprehensive literature review was conducted using databases including RISS, CINAHL, PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Scopus, and ScienceDirect. Inclusion criteria were peer-reviewed articles published in Korean or English. Twenty-seven studies were selected and analyzed based on Rodgers' framework. Results The attributes of dyadic coping were identified as interdependence, communal cognition, and open communication. Antecedents involved shared infertility stress, relationship quality, and personal or cultural characteristics. Consequences included relational adaptation, psychological stability, and improved quality of life. Proxy terms such as couple coping and shared coping were also identified. Conclusion Dyadic coping is defined as a dynamic, relational process where couples perceive infertility as "our problem" and mutually exchange support. Nursing interventions should expand from individual-focused to couple-centered approaches, emphasizing open communication and cultural sensitivity to enhance the resilience and well-being of infertile couples.
