OBJECTIVE: Postponing assisted reproductive technology treatment can cause pronounced mental health problems. The aim of this study was to examine the level of depression, anxiety, stress, and overall infertility-related distress experienced by infertile couples during the pandemic, as well as the differences between men and women in the examined variables and the correlations between them.
METHODS: A total of 131 participants were included in the study, 65 men and 66 women. They were selected based on their responses in the Fertility Problems Inventory (FPI); the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21); and a general data questionnaire provided to them at the time of IVF.
RESULTS: The levels of depression, anxiety, and stress in women and men resided within the normal range. Depression (p<0.05), anxiety (p<0.01), stress (p<0.01), and social concern (p<0.05) were more pronounced among women. Significant correlations were found between depression, anxiety, stress, and global stress and its three dimensions: social concern, sexual concern, and relationship concern.
CONCLUSIONS: During the pandemic, women undergoing assisted reproductive technology treatment experienced significantly higher levels of depression, anxiety, stress, and overall infertility-related stress than men. Furthermore, depression, anxiety, and stress were apparently correlated with overall infertility-related stress.
