Abstract

The objective: to study the features of the psycho-emotional state of pregnant women with different types of infertility in the anamnesis.Materials and methods. A study of psycho-emotional status in 127 pregnant women 20–49 years old, of which 97 women had a history of different forms of infertility and 30 pregnant women without a history of infertility, was carried out. The distribution of pregnant women into the groups was based according to the factor of infertility: I group included 35 pregnant women with a history of endocrine infertility, II group – 37 persons with a history of tubal origin infertility, III group – 25 pregnant women with a history of combined infertility (tubal and endocrine factors), IV group (control group) – 30 healthy pregnant women who had no history of infertility.L. Reeder psychosocial stress scale and Luscher color test were used to assess the psycho-emotional state.Results. The obtained data of L. Reeder psychosocial stress scale demonstrated that that in the I group the high level of psychosocial stress was found in 34.3 % of pregnant women, the moderate level – 37.1 % persons, in the II group – in 29.7 % and 37, 8 % individuals, respectively, in the III group – 56 % and 24 %, in the IV group – 6.7 % and 10 %. The results of the Luscher color test showed that high level of anxiety had 57.1 % in the I group, 59.5 % – in the II group, 68% – III group, and, 6.7 % – IV group. The indicators of pregnant women of groups I, II, III are marked by a high percentage of the 6th-8th positions – 57.1 %, 59.5 % and 68 % versus 6.7% of the persons in the IV group. This indicates a high level of anxiety in the patients with a history of infertility. Only 15 % of women in the I and II groups and 8 % – in the III group feel confident.The results of the Luscher test presented the highest number of women with the highest score of anxiety in the III group (68 %), which is 7 times more than in the IV one; 93.3 % of patients in the IV group had low and moderate levels of anxiety.Conclusions. Pregnant women with a history of infertility are in the group with a high level of anxiety and markedly unstable psycho-emotional state. The highest levels of psycho-emotional disorders are determined in women with a history of combined infertility.
