Abstract

The changes that have occurred in recent years in society place infertility as a pathology that significantly affects couples, since parenting, being a personal desire, is also "almost" an imposition of society on couples of childbearing age. It is intended to identify the measures used by nurses to assess the emotional level of families in the face of infertility. A scoping review is performed - inclusion criteria, participants: family in the process of infertility; concepts: nursing, infertility, emotions, family and measures; context: families in infertility follow-up consultations. For the research expression, the Booleans of AND and OR were used, articulating with the descriptors MeSH, in the EBSCO platform. After the analysis, it was concluded that the findings point to several measurement instruments that nurses who specialize in maternal health and obstetrics can mobilize to identify in their area of intervention providing care centered on human response to transitions resulting from infertility.
