Two hundred and fifty-eight (258) couples requesting in vitro fertilisation (IVF) were interviewed by a social worker prior to commencing treatment. At the time of admission to hospital 147 women and 134 men completed a questionnaire which incorporated the Eysenck Personality Inventory and the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Forty-three women conceived and 26 couples (14.2%) required extra counselling or support after their involvement in the programme. Couples seeking IVF did not differ significantly from the rest of the population with respect to occupation, education, alcohol, cigarette and medication use. The personality characteristics of couples seeking IVF did not differ significantly from a local comparison group. Personality and psychosocial characteristics did not identify those couples who were more likely to become pregnant by IVF. However, couples who required extra counselling were more likely to have required similar help in the past. Women requiring counselling also scored significantly higher on the Eysenck neuroticism scale and the Spielberger State-Trait anxiety scales compared to those women who did not require extra counselling or support. The male partners scored significantly lower on the Eysenck scale of extroversion compared to male partners of couples who did not require support or counselling. We conclude that these inventories may be of value in identifying certain couples who require extra care during attempted conception by IVF.
258对要求进行体外受精（IVF）的夫妇在开始治疗前接受了一名社会工作者的访谈。在入院时，147名女性和134名男性完成了一份问卷，其中包括艾森克人格问卷和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑问卷。43名女性成功受孕，26对夫妇（14.2%）在参与该项目后需要额外的咨询或支持。寻求IVF的夫妇在职业、教育、饮酒、吸烟和用药方面与其他人群没有显著差异。寻求IVF的夫妇的人格特征与当地对照组没有显著差异。人格和社会心理特征无法识别出那些更有可能通过IVF受孕的夫妇。然而，需要额外咨询的夫妇过去更有可能需要类似的帮助。与那些不需要额外咨询或支持的女性相比，需要咨询的女性在艾森克神经质量表和斯皮尔伯格状态-特质焦虑量表上的得分也显著更高。与不需要支持或咨询的夫妇的男性伴侣相比，男性伴侣在艾森克外向性量表上的得分显著更低。我们得出结论，这些问卷在识别某些在通过IVF尝试受孕期间需要额外护理的夫妇方面可能具有价值。
