=== Problematic Integration Theory and Pregnancy ===
Ashley Archiopoli applies Problematic Integration Theory in her research to examine how [[Pregnancy|pregnant]] women have been able to cope and build resilience during the [[COVID-19]] pandemic. Through a qualitative analysis of interviews with pregnant women, Archiopoli found that these women used strategies including reframing, using support systems, and engaging in [[self-care]] to manage the impact of the pandemic on their pregnancy.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Archiopoli |first=Ashley |url=https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-77344-1_17 |title=Pandemic Communication and Resilience |publisher=Springer |year=2021 |isbn=978-3-030-77343-4 |pages=279-291}}</ref>
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 book |last=Kosenko |first=Kami A. |title=Communication Theory |publisher=International Communication Association |year=2021 |isbn= |edition=Volume 31, Issue 4 |pages=613-632}}</ref>
