To examine the effect of mode of conception (spontaneous versus induced) on parenting stress, psychological well-being and marital quality during the transition to parenthood among parents of twins.
The Parenting Stress Index was assessed in 37 parents of twins conceived by assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and compared to that of 38 controls who conceived spontaneously.
First-time parents after assisted reproduction experienced significantly higher levels of parenting stress than parents who conceived spontaneously (89.3 vs 72.8). Primiparas following assisted reproduction score lower on psychological well-being than do controls. The two study groups did not differ in their perception of marital quality. In addition, ART primiparous mothers experience higher levels of parenting stress and lower levels of psychological well-being in comparison to primiparous mothers who conceived spontaneously.
The transition to parenthood following assisted reproduction is demanding for both parents of twins. In particular, first-time mothers may require qualified emotional support to facilitate adjustment to twin parenthood.
探讨受孕方式（自然受孕与人工受孕）对双胞胎父母在为人父母过渡阶段的育儿压力、心理健康和婚姻质量的影响。
对37名通过辅助生殖技术（ART）受孕的双胞胎父母进行育儿压力指数评估，并与38名自然受孕的对照组进行比较。
辅助生殖后的初为人父母者所经历的育儿压力显著高于自然受孕的父母（89.3对72.8）。辅助生殖后的初产妇心理健康得分低于对照组。两个研究组对婚姻质量的认知没有差异。此外，与自然受孕的初产妇相比，辅助生殖的初产妇母亲经历更高水平的育儿压力和更低水平的心理健康。
对于双胞胎父母来说，辅助生殖后过渡到为人父母阶段对双方都有要求。特别是，初产妇母亲可能需要合格的情感支持来促进对双胞胎育儿的适应。
