Yet, while time constraints are often used as an excuse not to counsel, counseling rarely lasts longer than two minutes per session. In addition, written information can be easily generated to supplement and reinforce a brief verbal message. Alternatively, the patient can be asked to return at a more convenient time or can be contacted by telephone.
Hospitality

Counselors know all about this as one key element taught in many schools of counseling is the ability to suspend personal judgement while engaged in counseling activities. Seasoned counselors know this is very difficult to do, but absolutely essential if the counseling is to move forward. To truly make the exchange more successful, the counselor must suspend their judgment. If they harbor a stereotype or judgement about clients they see, the counseling session will be stilted.

Despites of having a log gap of hospital appointment, patients are also having problem in using the opportunity during their meeting with professional on the appointment day. Feelings annoyed to receive different advice and recommendations from different people every time of visit. Over time they become passive and keeping just silent. Keeping silent probably due to two factors; showing respect towards health professionals for their status and knowledge or feeling low self-esteem as being a person whom do not have knowledge, and afraid of making mistakes. The participants also noted on the lack of communication skills among the patients as they are not active in discussion and played a passive role with various reasons given e.g. unsure of how to express their problems. The hospital environments played an important role as some patients feeling uncomfortable to express their problem in an open room; noisy, staff are not focus in a rushing situation, no privacy etc. Providing privacy to the patient during counseling is one of the limitations faced by the participants in this study. It is inadequate as to compare the number of patients they see every day with the room condition for them to provide the counseling.
Artificial Placenta – Imminent Ethical Considerations for Research Trials and Clinical Translation
Published in The American Journal of Bioethics, 2023

Here are some (but not all) important research ethical considerations for the first in-human AAPT trials: The research participant (i.e. the mother) needs thorough, well-balanced, high-quality information counseled by an independent doctor. Uncertainty is an important aspect of counseling as—this being research—much remains unknown and extrapolation from animal to human studies is uncertain. Such counseling requires time to think; absorb information; ask questions; consult with loved ones; and so on. Counseling can therefore not be done during contractions.In- and exclusion need to be determined. These have ethical as well as scientific desiderata: they are meant to ensure that findings are extrapolable and follow the aim of research; but also need to minimize harm to participants. Since both mother and fetus/fetonate are primary research subjects, potential harms should be minimized for both. Given the above-discussed cesarean-section risks, one inclusion criterion should be a medical reason to perform a cesarean section to prevent an additional risk for the pregnant person. Another inclusion criterion should be that the fetus’ chances in regular neonatal intensive care are very poor.

Finally, participants shared that having a personal connection to health services was their main point of access to receiving services. Participants reported that personal connections helped them to form a new understanding of health services and reduced their mistrust of the healthcare system. I think because that’s what I studied; I have a more open mind to it. Prior to studying psychology, I was never really open to counseling or any of that stuff because growing up it was always like, ‘Your issues are your issues and you don’t go put it on anyone else. If you’re having troubles in your relationship, well, you deal with it in your relationship. You don’t need to go tell anybody else.’
Exploring Cisgender Women’s Experiences of Reproductive Loss After In Vitro Fertilization

Undergoing in vitro fertilization and subsequently suffering a reproductive loss was an emotional rollercoaster. Counseling is helpful for individuals undergoing emotionally charged situations, specifically in the short term (Bower et al., 2011). Interestingly, Emery et al. (2003) found that 86% of couples who underwent pre–in vitro fertilization counseling reported that it was helpful, despite never intending to do counseling prior to the study. Of couples who had intended to do pre–in vitro fertilization counseling, 96% stated that the counseling was helpful, highlighting the benefits of pre–in vitro fertilization counseling for all treatment seeking couples (Emery et al., 2003). Normalizing universal mental-health services in fertility care may lessen the associated societal stigma, promote mental health, and benefit individuals who would not have sought these services independently. One of the main recommendations offered by the participants for improving the model of care was expanding the financial coverage to include mental-health supports and services.
