“…38 The activation of depressive experiences in the infertile couple may constitute a coping strategy to attract both the support of the partner and social or professional support in such a painful and uncertain phase for the infertile person. 39 Another significant finding is the specific role of the experience of interpersonal detachment (psychoticism) on the QoL in homologous and heterologous MAR and of paranoid traits on stress in heterologous MAR. Individuals in homologous MAR with the strongest interpersonal detachment experiences reported lower QoL while those in heterologous treatment with higher paranoid traits experienced a higher degree of infertility-related stress.…”

Purpose: This study compared the quality of life/stress between individuals undergoing homologous and heterologous medically assisted reproduction (MAR) and explored the role of psychopathological traits.Design and Methods: Two hundred and twenty-six participants in homologous (52.2%) and heterologous MAR (47.8%) completed Symptom Checklist 90-R, Fertility Problem Inventory, and Fertility Quality of Life.Findings: The homologous group showed higher depressive/anxious and obsessivecompulsive traits, hostility and interpersonal detachment, and worse quality of life/ stress than the heterologous one. In the homologous pathway, those with higher interpersonal detachment showed worse quality of life, in the heterologous one those with greater paranoid traits had greater stress.Practice Implications: Psychiatric nursing support should focus on interpersonal detachment in homologous and paranoid traits in heterologous MAR.

“…Furthermore, as to personality traits, neuroticism and selfcriticism as well as dysfunctional romantic attachment styles (anxiety and avoidance) were found to be positively associated with global emotional infertility stress in both women and men (Lowyck et al, 2009;Donarelli et al, 2012;Rockliff et al, 2014;Theodoridou et al, 2016;Molgora et al, 2019a). With reference to fertility-related dimensions, duration of infertility, frequencies of treatments, and infertility diagnosis (that is, the cause of infertility, which can be male factor, female factor, mixed factor, or idiopathic/unexplained factor) were found to be associated with different levels of distress (Patel et al, 2016(Patel et al, , 2018Ma et al, 2018).…”

Infertility and ART treatments represent stressful experiences for the couples, impacting on the overall psychological well-being of partners as well as on their couple adjustment. Several variables were analyzed as risk factors for infertility-related distress. The impact of these experiences has been well-documented in both women and men, reporting important gender differences. The aim of this study was to assess gender differences in individual and relational well-being in infertile couples. Gender differences for psychological and medical variables predicting psychological distress were investigated. Two hundred and thirty couples who entered an ART program at a public hospital in Milan were recruited. Each partner completed the following scales: ScreenIVF, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Experience in Close Relationship Questionnaire. Findings revealed several gender differences with women reporting higher levels of both anxiety and depressive symptoms, anxiety and avoidance attachment, and helplessness, but lower levels of acceptance than men. Differences emerged also in factors predicting well-being: poor support predicted anxiety in men and depression in women. Furthermore, individual well-being was predicted only for men by attachment anxiety and previous treatment. Finally, in the women subsample, couple's adjustment was predicted by anxiety attachment, while in men predictors were helplessness and type of diagnosis. These results suggest the importance of implementing support interventions for couples which take into consideration the specific needs and fragility of each partner as well as focusing on enhancing a sense of partnership.
