Successful pregnancy is the ultimate goal of almost all couples. However, this pleasant event is usually accompanied psychological and behavioral changes and can result in stress in women, particularly women who pregnant by assisted reproductive technology methods (ARTs).
This study aims to determine the anxiety level during pregnancy and its relation with infertility factors in women who has been pregnant by Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) methods.
A total number of 100 ARTs pregnant women who came to three infertility centers in Tehran from August to November 2009 participated in this descriptive cross sectional study. The rational for selecting the subjects was their availability to the researcher at the time of the research. Anxiety was measured by Beck Anxiety Inventory and for obtaining the infertility data, a questionnaire designed by the researcher was given to the subjects. Data were statistically analyzed using the inferential statistic of chi-square.
Study results showed that 34 % of subjects were anxious (moderate and sever levels in total). There are significant relations between infertility duration, history of treatment failure and anxiety level (P = 0.03) (P = 0.02). There were no statistically significant relationships with regard to other variables.
Infertility duration and history of treatment failure in ARTs pregnant women are two factors that affect the anxiety level during pregnancy.
成功怀孕是几乎所有夫妇的终极目标。然而，这一令人愉悦的事情通常伴随着心理和行为上的变化，可能导致女性产生压力，尤其是那些通过辅助生殖技术（ARTs）怀孕的女性。
本研究旨在确定通过辅助生殖技术（ART）方法怀孕的女性在孕期的焦虑水平及其与不孕因素的关系。
2009年8月至11月期间，共有100名在德黑兰三家不孕不育中心通过辅助生殖技术怀孕的女性参与了这项描述性横断面研究。选择这些受试者的理由是在研究时研究人员能够接触到她们。使用贝克焦虑量表测量焦虑程度，为获取不孕数据，研究人员设计了一份问卷并发放给受试者。数据采用卡方推断统计进行统计学分析。
研究结果显示，34%的受试者存在焦虑（中度和重度焦虑合计）。不孕持续时间、治疗失败史与焦虑水平之间存在显著关系（P = 0.03）（P = 0.02）。在其他变量方面没有统计学上的显著关系。
通过辅助生殖技术怀孕的女性，其不孕持续时间和治疗失败史是影响孕期焦虑水平的两个因素。
