Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Mental Health

Background:

  • Infertility is linked to high stress, increasing risks of depression and anxiety.
  • The SCREENIVF questionnaire assesses these risks in patients.
  • Coping strategies may influence stress and emotional well-being in infertile couples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify specific coping strategies correlated with depression and anxiety risk in infertile individuals and couples.
  • To inform targeted psychological counseling for at-risk patients.

Main Methods:

  • 296 infertile patients (women and men) completed the SCREENIVF and COMPI coping scales.
  • Data analyzed individually and as couples using the Actor Partner Interdependence Model.

Main Results:

  • Active avoidance coping correlated with higher depression/anxiety risk individually and for partners.
  • Meaning-based coping showed protective effects for women (actor and partner).
  • Active-confronting coping in women negatively impacted male partners' risk.

Conclusions:

  • Coping strategies significantly influence emotional adjustment in infertile couples.
  • Active avoidance may increase psychological distress, while meaning-based coping can be protective.
  • Further research into coping mechanisms can guide new counseling interventions.
