Abstract

Given the high prevalence of IVF failure and its psychological impact, this study aimed to determine the effect of supportive counseling on resilience in infertile women following unsuccessful in vitro fertilization. Sixty-five infertile women after the failure of the first IVF started the study, but only 60 completed the trial. In the intervention group, individual supportive counseling was conducted during four sessions lasting 60 min each once a week. For the control group, routine care of the infertility center has been done. Before the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the total score of resilience and its subscales between the two groups. However, four weeks post-intervention, the total score of resilience and its subscales increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group, with an increase of 15.06 ± 15.14 in the intervention group and a decrease of 12.93 ± 13.03 in the control group (p < 0.001). Eight weeks post-intervention, the total score of resilience and its subscales increased significantly in the intervention group compared to the control group, with an increase of 20.60 ± 16.86 in the intervention group and a decrease of 17.80 ± 17.34 in the control group (p < 0.001). Based on the findings of this study, supportive counseling effectively enhanced resilience in infertile women following IVF failure.

支持咨询对不孕妇女体外受精失败后恢复力的影响：一项随机对照试验研究。

鉴于体外受精失败的高患病率及其心理影响，本研究旨在确定支持性咨询对体外受精失败后不孕妇女恢复力的影响。65名第一次体外受精失败的不孕妇女开始了这项研究，但只有60人完成了试验。在干预组，个人支持咨询进行了四个疗程，每次60分钟，每周一次。对照组在不育中心进行常规护理。干预前，两组心理弹性总分及其分量表得分差异均无统计学意义。但干预后4周，干预组心理弹性总分及其分量表得分较对照组显著升高，干预组上升15.06±15.14分，对照组下降12.93±13.03分(p
