Study on Effect of Anxious Emotion of the Female Who Enter IVF-ET Treatment Cycle on Treatment Outcome

ObjectiveTo detect effect of anxious emotion of the female who enter IVF-ET treatment cycle on treatment outcome.MethodsNinety infertility women who joined in IVF-ET treatment were collected and they were tested with the State-Trait Anxiety Form at the day entering treatment cycle, with State Anxiety Form at l h before oocyte retrieval and 12 d after ET waiting for blood β-hCG result.ResultsThe average of trait anxiety score (38.5) was used to divide patients into two groups. There were significant differences in state anxiety at the first and second test points between high score group (39.9 ± 7.8, 41.5 ± 11.2) and low score group(33.1 ± 6.9, 33.7 ± 8.1), but there was no difference at the third point. At three test points, the changes of state anxiety in high-trait anxiety score group showed no difference, but in low-trait anxiety score group there was higher level at the third point than at the first point (38.4 ± 10.6 vs 32.7 ± 7.4)(P<0.05). Compared variables of psychology, the results demonstrated that trait anxiety score of success group (β-hCG> 25 IU/L 12 d after IVF-ET) was higher than that of failure group (40.9 ± 9.2 vs 36.8 ± 7.6)(P<0.05).ConclusionTrait anxiety may be one of mental influential factors on treatment outcome.
