Abstract

Objective: to study the psycho-emotional state features of induced pregnancy women with COVID-19. Material and methods. The study included a comparison of the clinical course of psychoemotional disorders in women after in vitro fertilization and infection with SARS-CoV-2 (n=11), women with induced pregnancy without COVID-19 (n=24). The psychological state was assessed using the PET scales, anxiety/depression was identified using the PHQ-AES scale, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was identified using the IES-6 scale. Results. All women with COVID-19 (n=11; 100%) had a higher degree of anxiety/depression on the PHQ-AES scale than in the group without COVID-19 (66.7%). In 5 (45.4%) cases, the pregnancy was successfully completed, and in 6 (54.6%) cases, pregnancy was allowed before the start of treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia due to an extremely severe course. In this group, there was 1 death of the mother and child. In the induced pregnancy group without COVID-19, all cases had a favorable outcome. Conclusion. Psychoemotional disorders in induced pregnancy and COVID-19 are characterized by the influence of SARS-CoV-2, infertility history, long-term treatment, repeated failures and complications.
