Effect of internet-based nursing model on quality of life and psychological resilience in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the effect of internet nursing model on female patients who are undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, improve the quality of nursing service in reproductive center.Methods:A total of 201 female patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer from April 2018 to December 2018 were divided into the intervention group(102 cases) and the control group(99 cases) by random digits table method. The patients in intervention group were treated with nursing care based on the internet platform, and the control group was given routine care. The duration of intervention was from the patients determined treatment plan to the time pregnancy test 14 days after embryo transfer. The Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS), Fertility Quality of Life(FertiQoL), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC) were used to evaluate the differences in anxiety and depression, quality of life, and psychological resilience before and after intervention. The outcome of in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer was observed in two groups.Results:After intervention, the score of SAS, SDS were 26.03±6.43, 28.79±5.26 in the intervention group, and 40.76±6.81, 36.13±6.27 in the control group, the difference were significant( t values were -15.77, -9.00, all P<0.01). After intervention,the dimensional scores of mental and physical, social relationship, tolerance to treatment in the FertiQoL were 68.21±18.34, 75.56±19.58, 69.14±18.91 in the intervention group, and 58.11±17.42, 67.24±19.27, 58.77±19.86 in the control group, the difference were significant( t values were 4.00, 3.04, 3.79, all P<0.01). After intervention,the dimensional scores of tough, optimistic in CD-RISC were 37.03±10.51, 14.02±3.25 in the intervention group, and 26.73±9.81, 10.13±3.41 in the control group, the difference were significant( t values were 7.17, 8.28, all P<0.01). The average number of high-quality embryos and clinical pregnancy rate were 1.79(0.59, 4.51), 49.02%(50/102) in the intervention group, and 1.22(0.36, 2.86) , 33.33% (33/99) in the control group, the difference were significant ( t value was 2.47, χ2 value was 5.10, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The new nursing model based on internet has positive significance for the treatment of female patients undergoing in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, which can improve patients' anxiety and depression, improve their quality of life and enhance their psychological resilience.
