Abstract: (11164 Views)
Background and purpose: Both the condition of infertility and its treatment cause stress in couples. ÏN-Vitro Fertilization (ÏVF) is a stressful procedure for patients. Ëvidence has shown that, in addition to biomedical factors (such as age and history of pregnancy), psychological factors are related to the outcome of ÏVF treatment.
Materials and methods: This cohort study was performed in 2008 on 70 (35 patients in case group and 35 patients in control group) candidates for ÏVF in two infertility clinics in Sari. Psychiatric assessment of patients was done before Gonadotropine injection for ÏVF by a psychiatrist with standard questionnaires. Ânxiety and depression questionnaires were completed by the patients. Based on the results drawn from the questionnaires, the control group was formed from individuals with no anxiety or depression or individuals suffering from mild anxiety and depression or either of them. Ïndividuals of the case group were suffering from moderate to severe anxiety and depression or either of them.
Results: Mean age of patients was 30.25 ± 4.63 year in case group and 30.37 ±4.67 year in control group. Pregnancy rate was 31.42% in case and 54.54% in control group. Relative risk for not becoming pregnant in individuals suffering from moderate to severe anxiety and depression was1.5 and attributable risk was 33%.
Çonclusion: Pregnancy rate in normal individuals or individuals suffering mild anxiety and depression or either of them, was higher. Than those suffering from moderate to severe depression.
