Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To ascertain the level of psychological resilience, examine the latent profiles of individuals within infertile couples who experience recurrent implantation failure (RIF), identify the relevant influencing factors, and lay a foundation for developing customized intervention strategies. METHODS: Convenience sampling was adopted in this study. Participants were selected from individuals in infertile couples with RIF who attended the Second West China Hospital of Sichuan University between November 2024 and July 2025. Data were collected via a general information questionnaire and validated scales assessing psychological resilience, social support, sleep quality, family adaptability and cohesion, anxiety, and depression. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was performed to explore the psychological resilience profiles of individuals with RIF, while univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were employed to identify the influencing factors associated with different profile categories. RESULTS: A total of 303 valid questionnaires were collected, including 194 from females and 109 from males. The overall psychological resilience score was (26.66 ± 6.319). Latent profile analysis categorized psychological resilience into three subgroups: the low tenacity-low strength subgroup (31.4%), the moderate tenacity-moderate strength subgroup (53.1%), and the high tenacity-high strength subgroup (15.5%); Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that gender, family adaptability and depression severity (all P < 0.05) were independent predictors of psychological resilience profile membership. CONCLUSION: Marked interindividual heterogeneity exists in the psychological resilience of individuals with RIF. Gender, family adaptability and depression severity serve as the core influencing factors. In clinical practice, stratified and targeted interventions should be delivered according to distinct psychological resilience subgroups. It yields clinical implications for an association between improved psychological resilience among individuals from couples with RIF and enhanced treatment adherence.
