Abstract

The process of infertility comes along with various social, mental, physical and financial stresses. The process of AVF treatment makes about 1.3% of women depressed having much anxiety in terms of psychiatric health. This also makes an intervention with the process of treatment in this regard. The present study tries to determine the impact of relaxation on anxiety and the result of EVF in patients with infertility that have been referred to the infertility center of Tehran University of Medical Sciences during 2012-2013. Materials & Methods: This experimental study is a clinical-based examination type that has been carried out on 100 infertile women using AVF treatment ranging from 25-35 year old during 2012- 2013, who referred to the hospitals affiliated to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The sampling method is an available way and the related data were gathered by using Newton infertility anxiety questionnaire. The samples were divided into two groups of case and observation. The related data was analyzed by the descriptive statistics, T-test and covariance analysis in p<0.05 level. Result : The mean score of anxiety in two groups before the relaxation was 163.24 and 165.48, respectively. The related t-test did not show a significant difference between two groups. (p>0.05). After the relaxation, the mean score of the anxiety was obtained between two groups as 148.38 and 156.18, respectively. The t-test showed a significant difference between two groups after the relaxation (p<0.05). Also, the covariance results showed significant statistical difference between two groups in terms of anxiety reduction. Therefore, the number of positive results was 20 cases in observation group and 19 cases in experimental group in this regard. The number of negative replies was 30 cases in observation group and 31 ones in experimental group in this study. The results of K-Square test did not show a significant difference between two groups in relation to the positive replies of pregnancy test. (p>0.05). Conclusion: Due to the result of the present study the relaxation process is an effective way on reducing the related patients’ anxiety degree. This reduced a considerable degree of the case group anxiety but it does not have an essential role in its own success.
