The SCREENIVF Hungarian version is a valid and reliable measure accurately predicting possible depression in female infertility patients.

Infertility patients, often in high distress, are entitled to being informed about their mental status compared to normative data. The objective of this study was to revalidate and test the accuracy of the SCREENIVF, a self-reported tool for screening psychological maladjustment in the assisted reproduction context. A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based online survey was carried out between December 2019 and February 2023 in a consecutive sample of female patients (N = 645, response rate 22.9%) in a university-based assisted reproduction center in Hungary. Confirmatory factor analysis and cluster and ROC analyses were applied to test validity, sensitivity and specificity in relation to Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores. Model fit was optimal (chi-square = 630.866, p < 0.001; comparative fit index = 0.99; root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.018 (90% CI 0.013-0.023); standardized-root-mean-square-residual = 0.044), and all dimensions were reliable (α > 0.80). A specific combination of cutoffs correctly predicted 87.4% of BDI-scores possibly indicative of moderate-to-severe depression (χ(1) = 220.608, p < 0.001, Nagelkerke R = 0.462, J = 66.4). The Hungarian version of the SCREENIVF is a valid and reliable tool, with high accuracy in predicting BDI-scores. Low response rate may affect generalizability. The same instrument with different cutoffs can serve various clinical goals.
