“…Another study reported that after ART treatment, the state anxiety of women was negatively affected but there was no change in trait anxiety 1 . Ju su, et al 24 determined that women in the group who continued treatment exhibited higher state and trait anxiety than women in the group who discontinued treatment 24 .…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety and depression scores of couples who underwent Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) on pregnancy outcomes. Method: This study was conducted as a prospective and comparative study with 217 couples. The study data was collected by using a semi-structured questionnaire and the Turkish version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The questionnaire, STAI and BDI were applied to couples who initiated ART treatment. Couples' state anxiety scores were re-evaluated after embryo transfer (ET). Results: A significant relationship was found between the depression score of women and pregnancy outcome (p < 0.05). It was determined that anxiety scores for both men and women were higher before the ART procedure, but their anxiety scores decreased after ET (p < 0.05). Spouses of women with a negative pregnancy outcome had higher trait and state anxiety mean scores (p > 0.05) and lower depression scores (p <0.05) than spouses of women with a positive pregnancy outcome. Conclusion: Study results indicated that the anxiety and depression scores of couples who had achieved a positive pregnancy result were lower than for couples with a negative result. The results of this study will contribute to the health professionals especially to the nurses who spend the most time with couples in providing consulting services and supporting psychological status of couples during ART process in Turkey.

“…Physiologic responses are thought to be less subjective than personality tests and have also been studied as stress response markers, with similar mixed results (6,11,16). Finally, various biochemical markers of acute (1,11,15,17) and chronic (1,22,23) stress have been studied. Unfortunately, the correlation between these markers and poor reproductive outcome have been subtle or nonexistent.…”

“…The studies on the association between an aberrant stress response and poor fertility outcomes are mixed, with studies supporting an association (1,6,8,11,12,15,17,22,(24)(25)(26), studies refuting an association (13,18,(27)(28)(29), and even a study suggesting a positive impact of stress on reproduction (14). In addition, there are studies demonstrating a negative impact of stress on male reproduction (19,30,31).…”

“…The mean age of the participants was 32.9 years. Sample sizes of the included studies ranged from 14 to 387 participants, with many of the published studies lacking statistical power or failing to report power calculations ([0.80 with an alpha of 0.05) [6,7,13,14,[20][21][22]. Nine of the reviewed studies included patients with a range of infertility diagnoses (e.g.…”

“…Cortisol is a glucocorticoid hormone which plays an important role in numerous processes including metabolism, blood pressure, and immune response regulation, and thus has proved a reliable biological correlate of many adverse health outcomes [5]. In the context of IVF, a growing body of evidence suggests that stress may exert its deleterious effects on IVF treatment outcomes through activation of the HPA axis [6][7][8][9][10][11].This hypothesis is plausible because both physical and emotional stress can cause alterations to the endocrine axis which may, in turn, affect the reproductive system through immunosuppression [12]. However, although a relationship between the HPA axis and reproductive success is possible, the evidence for a cortisol and IVF association appears inconclusive, with a number of studies reporting an association [7,8,11,[13][14][15] and others reporting no association between cortisol levels and IVF treatment outcomes [9,10,[16][17][18].…”

Purpose A systematic review was conducted to (1) collate and synthesise the available evidence for the role of cortisol in relation to IVF treatment outcomes; (2) to establish the strength of an association between cortisol and IVF; and (3) to assess the overall quality of the studies and guide future research in this area. Methods Seven electronic databases, including the reference lists of published papers, were searched. Inclusion criteria qualified any prospective/observational cohort study that reported original data. Quality assessment of eligible studies was conducted using the STROBE statement, which was used to assess the risk of bias and the quality of observational studies included in this review. Result(s) A total of eight studies reported a significant association between cortisol and IVF outcomes. Three studies found that higher cortisol may be associated with more favourable IVF outcomes, whereas five studies found that lower cortisol levels may be conducive to IVF success. Eleven of all studies included in this review were regarded as low quality publications. Conclusion(s) Study findings were that the evidence for the role of cortisol in relation to IVF outcomes is currently mixed. Future researchers are encouraged to consider the methodological limitations highlighted in this review and to utilise more robust assessment methods when examining the influence that chronic, rather than acute, stress may have on IVF outcomes.
