Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of family dignity intervention(FDI)on anxiety,depression,hope level and quality of life(QOL)of male infertility patients and their spouses.Methods:Using quasi-experimental design,we selected male in-fertility patients and their spouses undergoing human-assisted reproductive technology(ART)in our Center of Reproductive Medicine from June to December 2022 and divided them into an intervention group(38 couples)and a control group(40 couples).The former underwent a four-stage FDI,including ovulation promotion cycle assessment,family sharing,pre-transplantation interview and post-transplantation follow-up,while the latter received routine nursing.Using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale,Herth Hope Index and Fertility Quality of Life Scale,we evaluated the effects of FDI before and after transplantation.Results:After FDI,the anxiety and depression scores were significantly lower(P＜0.05)and the total scores on the hope level and all other dimensions remarkably higher in the intervention group than in the control(P＜0.05).The self-confidence of the couples in the intervention groups in ART treatment was markedly increased in comparison with that of the controls,and their scores on physical and mental health were signifi-cantly higher than those of the latter(P＜0.05).Conclusion:FDI can effectively relieve the anxiety and depression,raise the hope level and improve the quality of life of both male infertility patients and their spouses.
