Snippet: PURPOSE: To identify risk factors for severe psychological stress in women undergoing fertility treatment. METHODS: This cross-sectional, multi-center study was conducted from August to December 2018. We recruited 1672 subjects who completed an anonymous, self-reported questionnaire regarding fertility treatment, conditions at work and home, and psychological stress using K6 score, which estimates psychological distress during the previous 30 days. We further focused our analysis on 1335 subject
Document: PURPOSE: To identify risk factors for severe psychological stress in women undergoing fertility treatment. METHODS: This cross-sectional, multi-center study was conducted from August to December 2018. We recruited 1672 subjects who completed an anonymous, self-reported questionnaire regarding fertility treatment, conditions at work and home, and psychological stress using K6 score, which estimates psychological distress during the previous 30 days. We further focused our analysis on 1335 subjects who were working when starting fertility treatment. RESULTS: Of 1672 women, mean K6 score (range 0–24) was 4.8 ± 4.4, including 103 women (6.2%) with K6 score ≥ 13 (high K6), and classified as probable severe psychological distress. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that high K6 was strongly associated with low annual family income of ≤ USD55,700 (JPY6 million) (odds ratio [OR] 1.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04−3.42), infertility duration of ≥ 2 years (OR 1.87, 95% CI 1.08−3.25), and no experience of childbirth (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.05−3.97). Focusing on 1335 working women, 266 (19.9%) experienced resignation from work. High K6 was strongly associated with low family income (OR 2.83, 95% CI 1.52−5.28), cessation of professional duties (OR 2.08, 95% CI 1.05–4.14), infertility-related harassment in the workplace (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.08−3.98), and perceived difficulties to continue working during fertility treatment (OR 2.94, 95% CI 1.15−7.50). CONCLUSION: Severe psychological stressors in women during fertility treatment included low family income, long infertility duration, childlessness, infertility-related harassment, and perceived difficulty in working conditions or cessation from work. Establishment of mental health care support systems is urgently required in this population.
