The goal of this observational study is to learn about The purpose of this study was to compare the psychological differences between couples after IVF transplant failure and IVF pregnancy loss, including the differences in anxiety, depression, and stress between women and their spouses. Some couples will experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress reaction (PTS), and there are also large differences. The differences between couples discussed in this study also pay attention to male spouses. Guidance and education for male spouses can reduce cognitive differences between couples and generate understanding and empathy, which is conducive to promoting the stability of family relations and intimate relationships. 1.
