“…Our study confirmed prior findings suggesting infertile men have a greater QoL at baseline than infertile women ( 44 ). Infertile women may experience greater feelings of responsibility and guilt, greater social pressures, and infertility-related stigma ( 45 , 46 ).…”

“…Although some studies have found no association between emotional stress and IVF results [19,20], others report that the outcome of IVF treatment may be dependent on psychological stress [21,22]. However, since resilient individuals feel confident that they can overcome their emotions, highly resilient women receiving fertility treatment could experience less psychological stress during IVF treatments and more rapid recovery over time following a failed attempt [23,9].…”

“…In psychology, the term resilience refers to a complex and dynamic multidimensional construct, which results from the interaction between neurobiological, social, and personal factors and indicates the ability to adaptively cope with stress and adversity to maintain a normal level of physical and psychological functioning. It has been suggested that women who display higher resilience levels may have less psychological distress during IVF, but it is not stated if low resilience status in women undergoing IVF treatments should be considered as a risk factor for lower quality of life, a high probability of withdrawal or long-term emotional effects [7][8][9].…”

It has been suggested that women who display higher resilience levels may have less psychological distress during IVF. The aim of this study was to evaluate how infertile women deal with perceived stress, depressed mood, and sleep disturbances at the first IVF attempt and after one or more negative IVF outcomes depending on their level of resilience. An observational, cross-sectional study was carried out in a sample of 207 infertile women undergoing IVF procedures. The participants completed the short version of the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the short version of the European Spanish Version of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), the Center of Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), and the Jenkins Sleep Scale (JSS). The relationship between CD-RISC scores ranked according to percentiles and mean PSS-10 scores revealed that women with strong resilience had lower perceived stress. After splitting the sample according to CD-RISC percentiles, differences were observed only at the first IVF attempt and the observed protective effect of high resilience scores appears to disappear following a negative IVF outcome. Women with high resilience are less likely to suffer from perceived stress or depressed mood during their first IVF attempt, this protective effect appears to be lost after a negative outcome.

“…Just as resilience was described to function as a protective factor in a crisis [12], it also operated against the distress caused by infertility [22,23], but interestingly, also during pregnancy and puerperium [24]. Indeed, Li and collaborators [7] demonstrated that resilience played a determinant role between infertility-related stress and quality of living in a sample of 498 women [7].…”

Assessing resilience response to an adverse event such as infertility requires measuring the same construct adequately and accurately by nurses. The objective of this study was to explore the validity and reliability of the Portuguese version of the Resilience Scale for adults. A cross-sectional and methodological design was used, and factor analyses were performed. The sample comprised 140 adult Portuguese individuals under fertility treatment recruited from health-related websites. The findings yielded a bad fit of the hypothesized Resilience Scale structure with the observed data. Instead, a 21-item tool with a four-factor structure revealed high internal consistency (0.94). The tool correlated positively and significantly to the Portuguese version of the Spiritual Well-Being Questionnaire and was negatively associated and lacked correlation with the Fertility Adjustment Scale. The 21-item Resilience Scale is a reliable tool suitable to measure resilience in Portuguese adults under assisted reproductive techniques. This tool offers the opportunity of early recognition by health professionals aiming to enhance patients’ coping skills effectively and promote positive psychological and mental health outcomes.
