Abstract To investigate the psychological health status of infertile patients before in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET), and to study its correlation with the coping style of the patients. Methods: From January 2020 to December 2023, a total of 220 infertile patients who received IVE-ET for assisting pregnancy in the reproductive center of the hospital were selected in this study. The survey was conducted by the general information questionnaire, 90 symptom checklists (SCL-90), the fertility stress inventory (FPI), and the medical coping style questionnaire (MCMQ). Result: 211 infertile patients had completed the questionnaire survey, with the effective rate of 95.9%. The total score of SCL-90 of 211 infertile patients was 140.13±44.12 points, and which was significantly higher than that of the normal level (P<0.05). The total score of FPI was 166.04±21.69 points, and the scores of the face MCMQ, avoidance and yield of the patients were 18.45±2.89 points, 15.87±2.64 points and 9.36±2.81 points, and all of which were at the moderate level. The SCL-90 score of the patients was significantly negatively correlated with their face MCMQ score, and was positively correlated with their scores of PFI, avoidance and yielding. Meanwhile, the PFI score of the patients was negatively correlated with their face MCMQ score, and was positively correlated with their scores of avoidance and yielding (all P<0.05). Conclusion: The infertility patients generally have different degrees of the psychological health problems before IVF-ET, which are related to their coping styles. It is suggests that the clinical interventions should be carried out to guide the patients to adopt the positive coping styles and reduce the negative coping styles, which is conducive to improving their psychological health.
