The study examined the use of maladaptive coping strategies such as conflict, avoidance and self-blame in predicting anxiety and depression in couples undergoing IVF procedure. The target group consisted of 80 couples who started the IVF treatment at the Division of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Ljubljana’s University Medical Centre in Slovenia. The participants completed three scales: S/T Anxiety Inventory, CES Depression Scale, and Marital Coping Inventory. The results showed increased rates of depression compared to the normative population; 18% of women and 14% of men reported mild to moderate depression or the possibility of major depression. Women showed higher anxiety scores than men. Coping strategies predicted both depression and anxiety, with self-blame being the most toxic one. The study showed that self-blame is a coping strategy that should be properly addressed in the couples at the very outset of IVF treatment, to decrease emotional disorders and increase the likability of a succesful IVF medical procedures.
