The negative impact of the difficult socioeconomic situation on the birth rate and early neonatal morbidity and mortality requires paying more attention to the study of the role of psychological factors in solving demographic problems. The medico-psychological aspect of the improvement of reproductive health is one of the most topical objectives of the contemporary science and the psychological side of this problem deserves thorough and comprehensive scientific research.
The aim of the study – to analyze the influence of psychological factors on the psycho-emotional status of women with infertility. We can state that the scientific interest in the problem of infertility has grown significantly in recent years. However, there are no unambiguous facts about the relationship between the mental and the somatic in obstetric and gynecological practice. In modern society, pregnant women experience chronic stress, which is deepened by social conflicts, environmental and technological disasters, and not only gynaecological and somatic problems. Therefore, the concept of the genesis of gestational complications as maladjustment disorder, deserves attention, and the psychological aspect of the problem needs a comprehensive scientific research. The influence of psychological factors on the psycho-emotional state of women with infertility in the late reproductive age is undoubtedly significant. We have identified the common psychological manifestations of the psycho-emotional state of women with infertility: increased vulnerability, anxiety, instability of psycho-emotional sensations. Yet we have found that some groups need more external sensations and experience, the reduction of masculine influence and acceptance of their femininity while others require more support, the development of assertive behavior, an increase in self-esteem and the projection of an optimistic worldview. Among the psychological factors, we have singled out the following: stress, conflict behavior of partners, the way of perceiving the situation of infertility and readiness to improve it. Therefore, the aim of our work was to analyze the influence of psychological factors on the psycho-emotional status of women with infertility.
