This descriptive study was conducted with the aim to determine the anxiety level of infertile men who undergo genetic testing for assisted reproductive treatment.
Sample of the study included 60 individuals. Data was collected by interview through a data collection form and Spielberger's STAI Inventory.
It was identified that participants experienced psychological distress and anxiety before and after genetic testing. State anxiety scores of infertile men were found to be significantly higher than their trait anxiety scores (p < 0.001). About 98.3% of the participants had normal genetic test results, with only one person with Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY).
Anxiety due to genetic testing in infertile men who seek assisted reproductive treatment indicated the need for informative and psychologically supportive counseling.
本描述性研究旨在确定接受辅助生殖治疗基因检测的不育男性的焦虑水平。
该研究样本包括60名个体。通过数据收集表和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）通过访谈收集数据。
研究发现参与者在基因检测前后均经历了心理困扰和焦虑。不育男性的状态焦虑得分显著高于特质焦虑得分（p < 0.001）。约98.3%的参与者基因检测结果正常，只有一人患有克兰费尔特综合征（XXY）。
寻求辅助生殖治疗的不育男性因基因检测产生的焦虑表明需要提供信息性和心理支持性的咨询服务。
