Abstract
Aim. To study the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women after IVF and to identify the factors influencing it.Materials and methods. A total of 104 pregnant women were included in a comparative study. They were divided into two groups: one group consisted of women whose pregnancy occurred after IVF (main group), and the other group consisted of women whose pregnancy occurred naturally (comparison group). Psychodiagnostic questionnaires were used to assess the psycho-emotional state of the pregnant women. Statistical processing was performed using the STATISTICA 10.0 program, and differences were considered significant at a significance level of p=0.05.Results and discussion. The results of the analysis showed that the mean age of pregnant women after IVF was 30.8±1.3 years, which was significantly higher than that of women with natural pregnancy (mean age 22.38±4.6 years). In the group of women who became pregnant after IVF, there were more women with a complicated obstetric and gynaecological history and with extragenital pathology. The results of psychodiagnostic studies showed that women in the IVF group had a high level of anxiety. Factors such as the age of the pregnant woman, history of infertility, longterm and unsuccessful infertility treatment, and the presence of somatic pathology negatively affect the mental health of pregnant women.Conclusion. Thus, a high level of anxiety, fear about the course of the pregnancy and the health of the unborn child is characteristic of women whose pregnancy occurred after IVF. Psycho-emotional reactions are associated with the nature of the pathology of the pregnancy, the duration of infertility treatment and a burdened obstetric and gynaecological history. It is important to create special consultation rooms for psychological support. The help of a perinatal psychologist is necessary. Collaboration between the psychologist and the attending physician can achieve the best results.
