Abstract:
Objectve To investigate the psychological status of infertile couples entering the in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) treatment cycle. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, convenience sampling method was used to selected couples who received IVF-ET treatment for the first time in the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking University Third Hospital from October 2019 to August 2020. We used the basic questionnaire of infertility designed by ourselves, fertility problem inventory, the Chinese version of the fertility quality of life to evaluate the Status-Trait anxiety scale.Results:Totally 803 couples were included. The fertility stress score was 155.65 ±22.07 in female and 153.70 ±22.25 in male with no statistical difference ( P=0.101). The quality of life score was 90.60 ±18.27 in female and 84.24 ±16.47 in male. Female had better quality of life than male ( P<0.001). No statistical difference was observed in state anxiety scores ( P=0.074). The male trait anxiety score (43.38 ±6.91) was higher than that in female (41.93 ±6.89) ( P<0.001). Conclusion:When entering the IVF-ET treatment cycle, the fertility pressure level of the couple is the same, but the level of male anxiety characteristics is higher than that in women, and the quality of life is lower than that in women. Medical staff should strengthen the attention and intervention to the psychological state of men in the management of marital treatment.
