Abstract:
Objective:To explores the relationship between self-efficacy and marital adjustment in infertile couples based on Actor-Partner Interdependence Model (APIM) .Methods:This study was a cross-sectional survey. A total of 310 infertile couples who underwent in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycle treatment in Reproductive Center of Peking University Third Hospital from January to April 2022 were selected as the research objects by the convenient sampling method. General Self-Efficacy Scale and Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test were used to investigate. The relationship between self-efficacy and marital adjustment of infertile couples was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis and APIM. A total of 310 groups of questionnaires were distributed (1 group was 1 couple) , and 293 groups of effective questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 94.5%. Results:The self-efficacy scores of infertile couples were (25.08±5.54) for wives and (27.08±5.35) for husbands, and the self-efficacy scores of wives were lower than those of husbands ( P<0.01) . In the score of marital adjustment, the wives scored (109.39±23.13) and the husbands scored (111.99±20.87) . The APIM analysis results show that in terms of subjective effects, the self-efficacy of both infertile couples could affect their own marital adjustment (β=0.166, 0.408; P<0.01) . In terms of object effects, the husbands' self-efficacy could affect the wives' marital adjustment (β=0.117, P<0.05) . Conclusions:The self-efficacy of infertile couples undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycle treatment is at the middle level, and the marriage adjustment is generally good. The self-efficacy of couples is closely related to their own marital adjustment, and the self-efficacy of husbands can also positively affect the wifes' marital adjustment. In clinical work, infertile couples should be regarded as a whole, focusing on the binary interaction between both parties, and developing targeted measures to help infertile couples improve their self-efficacy, thereby improving marital adjustment, improving health outcomes, and stabilizing family relationships.
