INTRODUCTION: Haemophilia carriers (HCs) face a multitude of psychological challenges, mainly linked to the possibility of having an affected child. Important reproductive decisions such as opting for pre-implantation genetic testing, or choosing prenatal diagnosis and then whether to continue or interrupt pregnancy in case of affected male fetus, have to be taken into consideration. Notwithstanding, the role of psychological characteristics on such decision-making process needs further investigation.
AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate whether HCs' beliefs and emotions about haemophilia and cognitive factors such as decision-making style, risk perception, coping strategies in response to stress, and need for cognitive closure might modulate HCs' reproductive decisions.
METHODS: Participants were interviewed about their beliefs and emotions on haemophilia and filled an on-line standardized questionnaire on cognitive variables. Sixty HCs participated in this study.
RESULTS: Results show that HCs with high distress for haemophilia given by negative childhood experiences for one or more family member illness and by high concern for their children's health, and with psychological traits characterized by logical (versus emotional) reasoning, active coping style and high need for certainty, tend to choose diagnostic prenatal tests over routine pregnancy analysis.
CONCLUSION: This study highlighted the influence of negative early-life experience with haemophilia and of several cognitive factors in HCs choice of prenatal test.
