研究COVID-19大流行导致生育治疗暂停的心理影响，并阐明心理健康状况好转或恶化的心理社会预测因素。来自加拿大和美国的92名妇女（年龄20-45岁），其生育治疗已被取消，通过社交媒体招募。参与者完成了一系列问卷调查，评估抑郁症状，感知心理健康影响以及与治疗暂停相关的生活质量变化。心理结果的潜在预测因素也进行了研究，包括几个人格特质，社会支持，疾病认知和应对策略的方面。52%的受访者认可抑郁症状的临床水平。在7分量表上，参与者认可整体生活质量显著下降（M（SD）= -1.3（1.3），p < .0001），以及与治疗暂停相关的心理健康显著下降（M（SD）= -2.1（2.1），p < .001）。发现几个心理社会变量对这些结果产生积极影响：防御性悲观情绪的降低（r = -.25，p < .05），不孕不育的接受度更高（r = 0.51，p <0.0001），更好的社会支持质量（r = 0.31，p <0.01），更多的社会支持寻求（r = 0.35，p <0.001）和更少的避免不孕提醒（r = -0.23，p = 0.029）。暂停生育治疗对妇女的心理健康和生活质量产生了相当大的负面影响。然而，这些发现指出了一些保护性的心理社会因素，可以在未来培养，以帮助妇女科普。
To examine the psychological impact of fertility treatment suspensions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and to clarify psychosocial predictors of better or worse mental health. 92 women from Canada and the United States (ages 20–45 years) whose fertility treatments had been cancelled were recruited via social media. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires assessing depressive symptoms, perceived mental health impact, and change in quality of life related to treatment suspensions. Potential predictors of psychological outcomes were also examined, including several personality traits, aspects of social support, illness cognitions, and coping strategies. 52% of respondents endorsed clinical levels of depressive symptoms. On a 7-point scale, participants endorsed a significant decline in overall quality of life (M(SD) = -1.3(1.3), p < .0001) as well as a significant decline in mental health related to treatment suspensions on a scale from -5 to +5 (M(SD) = -2.1(2.1), p < .001). Several psychosocial variables were found to positively influence these outcomes: lower levels of defensive pessimism (r = -.25, p < .05), greater infertility acceptance (r = .51, p < .0001), better quality social support (r = .31, p < .01), more social support seeking (r = .35, p < .001) and less avoidance of infertility reminders (r = -.23, p = .029). Fertility treatment suspensions have had a considerable negative impact on women’s mental health and quality of life. However, these findings point to several protective psychosocial factors that can be fostered in the future to help women cope.
