Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the stress levels of patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) at Hung Vuong Hospital at the time of embryo transfer and pregnancy testing, using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and the Fertility Problem Inventory (FPI). Materials and methods: A longitudinal study was conducted among women undergoing frozen embryo transfer between May and July 2025 at Hung Vuong Hospital. Results: Data from 140  patients showed a higher pregnancy rate (49.3%) among women aged ≤30 years. Mean PSS and FPI scores fluctuated slightly between the pre-transfer and pregnancy test timepoints, but the differences were not statistically significant (p > 0.05 in all groups). Regression analysis indicated that biological factors remained the main determinants of pregnancy outcomes, whereas PSS and FPI scores were not predictive. After an unsuccessful transfer, 97.2% of participants expressed a desire to continue treatment, and 70.4% preferred individual counseling to help relieve psychological stress. Conclusions: PSS and FPI scores were not significantly associated with IVF outcomes. However, incorporating these scales into routine assessment may help IVF centers identify patients in need of psychological support, thereby facilitating the development of counseling programs aimed at improving patient experience during infertility treatment.
