Abstract:
BACKGROUND:With the improvement of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer technology, patients with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer are facing more and more psychological stress. To completely understand their mental features and to explore effective mental intervention are important problems faced workers of reproductive medicine.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the psychological condition of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer patients.
METHODS:A total of 92 in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer patients, who entered the cycle from October to
November 2012, were enrol ed in this study. The psychological conditions of these patients were evaluated using Symptom Checklist-90.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the factor scores of the Symptom Checklist-90 in patients with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer achieved significantly higher levels than national adult norm on their first day of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycles (P<0.05), with the exception of Psychiatric state factor. Meanwhile, in addition to Psychiatric state, differences of al the factors of Symptom Checklist-90 in patients with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer were statistical y significant in different stages of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycles at the first day of entering cycle, the day of obtaining ovum, and the seventh day of embryo transfer, (P<0.05). Interpersonal relationship, Depression and Anxiety scores were increased at the first day of entering cycle, the day of obtaining ovum, and the seventh day of embryo transfer (P<0.05). These results showed that patients with in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer tend to have poor psychological status, which is a problem in patients during the different stages of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer cycles and becomes aggravated during egg retrieval and waiting for the outcome. Interventional measures should be taken in different stages to improve patients’ mental health.
