Psychological factors like self-esteem and locus of control predict responses to infertility. Advanced age and prolonged treatment duration are linked to distress, suggesting a need for psychological support over extended medical interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Infertility affects a significant portion of the population.
  • Understanding individual responses to infertility is crucial for effective management.
  • Psychological and demographic factors may influence adaptation to infertility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the predictive validity of transition and individual variables.
  • To differentiate between individual responses to infertility.
  • To identify factors associated with adjustment and distress in infertile individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study design.
  • Inclusion of 43 primary infertile women and 28 men.
  • Utilized five standardized instruments for data collection.

Main Results:

  • Positive adjustment to infertility correlated with high self-esteem, internal locus of control, higher socioeconomic status, and moderate age.
  • High anxiety and distress were associated with low self-esteem, undifferentiated sex role identity, and advanced age.
  • Duration of infertility (actual and perceived) also influenced participants' responses.

Conclusions:

  • Psychological assessment is vital in infertility management.
  • Continuing psychological support is recommended.
  • The advisability of prolonged medical interventions warrants careful consideration.
