Kami A. Kosenko uses Problematic Integration Theory to explore the various ways that individuals experience [[infertility]] and the impact this has on their sense of identity and belonging. She examines the various forms of integration that can be experienced in the context of infertility – including positive, negative and ambivalent – and the various factors which shape the integration process, such as the couple relationship, social environment, the medical system, and the individual's own beliefs and values. She argues that infertility can be a source of disruption to an individual's sense of identity, and that focusing on the integration process and the various factors which influence it can help individuals better manage their experience of infertility.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Kosenko |first=Kami A. |title=Foci and Forms of Problematic Integration in the Context of Infertility |url=https://academic.oup.com/ct/article-abstract/31/4/613/5846217?redirectedFrom=fulltext |journal=International Communication Association |volume=31 |issue=4 |pages=613-632 |via=Oxford Academic}}</ref>
Beth Sundstrom uses Problematic Integration Theory to analyze how pregnancy ambivalence and contraceptive effectiveness can be integrated in contraceptive decision-making. Understanding how these PI factors interact with each other can help provide more effective contraceptive counseling and improve contraceptive outcomes.
