Abstract

There is limited research on the relationship between type D personality, dyadic coping, and quality of life (QoL), with most studies focusing on the individual perspective rather than the dyadic perspective. Additionally, evidence for the systemic-transaction model (STM) is limited, and research on infertile couples is scarce. This study investigated the relationship between type D personality and QoL in couples with infertility through the mediation of dyadic coping mechanisms. The present descriptive cross-sectional study recruited 452 infertile couples (N = 904) receiving in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment from a tertiary hospital in Hefei, China, between January and May of 2022. Information on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, type D personality, dyadic coping, and the QoL of the dyads was collected. The dyadic data were examined using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Mediation Model approach (APIMeM). The results suggest that type D personality, dyadic coping, and QoL in infertile couples have Actor-Partner Interdependence effects. The negative impact of Type D personality can spill over from individuals to the dyadic domain of couples. In the later stage, the negative impact of type D personality on QoL can be reduced by enhancing the dyadic coping level of both members of the infertile couple.

D型人格与体外受精治疗夫妇生活质量：二元应对的作用。

关于D型人格、二元应对和生活质量之间关系的研究有限，大多数研究都集中在个体角度，而不是二元角度。此外，系统交易模型（system -transaction model， STM）的证据有限，对不育夫妇的研究也很少。本研究通过二元应对机制的中介，探讨了D型人格与不孕夫妇生活质量的关系。本描述性横断面研究于2022年1月至5月在中国合肥的一家三级医院招募了452对接受体外受精（IVF）治疗的不孕夫妇（N = 904）。收集两组患者的社会人口学特征、临床特征、D型人格、二联体应对和生活质量等信息。使用参与者-合作伙伴相互依存中介模型方法（APIMeM）检查二元数据。结果表明，不孕夫妇的D型人格、二元应对和生活质量存在行为人-伴侣相互依赖效应。D型人格的负面影响可以从个体蔓延到夫妻的二元领域。在后期，可以通过提高不育夫妇双方的二元应对水平来降低D型人格对生活质量的负面影响。

期刊介绍： Psychology, Health & Medicine is a multidisciplinary journal highlighting human factors in health. The journal provides a peer reviewed forum to report on issues of psychology and health in practice. This key publication reaches an international audience, highlighting the variation and similarities within different settings and exploring multiple health and illness issues from theoretical, practical and management perspectives. It provides a critical forum to examine the wide range of applied health and illness issues and how they incorporate psychological knowledge, understanding, theory and intervention. The journal reflects the growing recognition of psychosocial issues as they affect health planning, medical care, disease reaction, intervention, quality of life, adjustment adaptation and management. For many years theoretical research was very distant from applied understanding. The emerging movement in health psychology, changes in medical care provision and training, and consumer awareness of health issues all contribute to a growing need for applied research. This journal focuses on practical applications of theory, research and experience and provides a bridge between academic knowledge, illness experience, wellbeing and health care practice.
