Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The goal of this review was to summarize the recent research on the relationship between stress and assisted reproductive technology treatment. RECENT FINDINGS: Women and men with infertility report high levels of distress that can impact their quality of life. There are numerous psychosocial interventions, including cognitive behavior therapy and/or self-help ones, which may decrease distress, increase patient retention and improve pregnancy rates. SUMMARY: Patient distress is an important factor to consider. Decreasing burden of care may lead to significant improvements in assisted reproductive technology outcome.
