Overview

Exploratory survey demonstrates emotional impact of IVF on infertile women, suggesting implications for treatment support.

Key Points

  • The study aims to understand the emotional effects of in-vitro fertilization on infertile women, focusing on anxiety levels influenced by various factors.
  • Surveyed 200 women undergoing final IVF stages (oocyte retrieval and embryo transfer) in Italy.
  • Measured state and trait anxiety levels, unconscious and symptomatic anxiety, and perception of self and others.
  • Monitored anxiety levels during hospitalization and analyzed differences based on diagnosis and infertility duration.
  • Significant differences in state anxiety (P < 0.01) and general anxiety (P < 0.05) were observed during hospitalization.
  • Women with long-duration infertility exhibited lower state anxiety levels (P < 0.01).
  • Failed oocyte fertilization led to a significant increase in state anxiety (P < 0.01).
