Pnm-13: Survey to The Impact of Relaxation on Anxiety and The Result of IVF in Patients with Infertility that Have Been Referred to The Rnfertility Center of Tehran Medical Sciences during 2012-2013

Background: The process of infertility comes along with various social, mental, physical and financial stresses. The process of IVF 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 is to determine the impact of relaxation on anxiety and the result of IVF in patients with infertility that have been referred to the infertility center of Tehran medical sciences during 2012-2013. Materials and Methods: This experimental study is a clinical-based examination type that has been carried out on 100 infertile women using IVF treatment ranging from 25-35 year old into the hospitals affiliated on Tehran Medical Sciences University during 2012-2013. The sampling method is an available way and the related data was gathered by the use of Newton infertility anxiety questionnaire 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. Results: 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 chi-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.
