Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate psychometric properties of infertility related stress assessment instruments and the methodological quality of research.Methods:Research on the psychometric property evaluation of infertility related stress assessment instruments was electronically searched on China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology medicine disc, WanFang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, and CINHAL. The search period was from database establishment to November 1, 2023. Two researchers independently screened literature and extracted data, evaluated the included assessment tools using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guideline, and formed recommendations.Results:A total of 20 studies were included, including 8 assessment instruments of the Fertility Problem Stress Inventory, Infertility Distress Scale, Fertility Problem Inventory, Fertility Problem Inventory-Short Form, Copenhagen Multi-Centre Psychosocial Infertility-Fertility Problem Stress Scales, Copenhagen Multi-Centre Psychosocial Infertility-Fertility Problem Stress Scales-Short Form, Infertility-Related Stress Scale, and the Symptom and Stress Inventory for Infertility. The content validity of assessment instrument was not reported or uncertain, and the quality of evidence for the assessment tools was moderate, all of which were B-level recommendations.Conclusions:The Fertility Problem Inventory, Copenhagen Multi-Centre Psychosocial Infertility-Fertility Problem Stress Scales, Copenhagen Multi-Centre Psychosocial Infertility-Fertility Problem Stress Scales-Short Form and the Infertility-Related Stress Scale can be temporarily recommended for use, but the psychometric property of each tool still needs to be fully verified. Clinical medical and nursing staff need to choose appropriate assessment instruments based on actual situation.
