Coping Intervention After Embryo Transfer
Study of the Effectiveness of a Coping Selfhelp Intervention for Women in the Waiting Period After an Embryo Transfer During an IVF/ISCI Treatment
Background of the study:
Undergoing an IVF or ICSI treatment is an emotional and physical burden for both the woman and her partner. Most stressful for the couple is waiting for the result of the treatment, the period after the embryotransfer until the pregnancy test or menstruation and an unsuccessful treatment. Symptoms of anxiety and depression have been identified in couples during the waitingperiod after an embryotransfer. For this waitingperiod a short selfhelp copingintervention has been developed based on the stress theory of Lazarus for women to use at home. Goal of the instrument is to stimulate the copingstyle positive reappraisal. Research has demonstrated that using this copingstyle can have a positive impact in health related circumstances.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Objective of the study:
To investigate if a short copingintervention reduces anxiety in patients undergoing an IVF or ICSI treatment in the UMCU during the waitingperiod after an embryotransfer.
Study design:
In this research a randomised controlled trial (RCT) will be used for three groups. The choice for three groups has been based on earlier research with a daily record keeping (DRK). The DRK is a daily measurement for emotions, copingstyle and physical complaints. Previous research with the DRK showed an increase of anxiety. More research must be done of the impact of the DRK. Group 1: Positive Reappraisal Coping Intervention (PRCI) & DRK & questionnaires Group 2: DRK & questionnaires Group 3: Standard care & questionnaires
Study population:
Patients undergoing an IVF or ICSI treatment in the UMCU.
Intervention (if applicable):
A selfhelp coping intervention
Primary study parameters/outcome of the study:
Anxiety
Secondary study parameters/outcome of the study (if applicable):
Risk of emotional problems copingstyle depression vital pregnancy quality of life
Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness (if applicable):
Using the coping intervention may reduce anxiety for the patient. The use of this instrument is not a burden for patients. The burden for patients is to complete questionnaires before, during and six weeks after the embryotransfer. Partners are asked to fill in a questionnaire at three times.

Anxiety
Tijdsspanne: T1 during the first week of the stimulation phase, T2 on the 10th day after embryo transfer, T3 six weeks after embryo transfer
|
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to measure general anxiety and depression (Zigmond and Snaith, 1983).
TheHADSconsists of 14 items (7 items for each subscale) that are rated on a 4-point Likert scale.
The total score is the sum of the 14 items, and for each subscale the score is the sum of the respective seven items (ranging from 0 to 21).
Scores on each scale can be interpreted in ranges: normal (0-7), mild (8-10), moderate (11-14) and severe (15-21) anxiety and depression.
