Background. In previous studies, people’s knowledge of reproductive health and infertile women’s psychological states was surveyed in several countries. However, there has been limited information concerning the psychological states of infertile women seeking treatment and the outcomes of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in China.Methods. Infertile women were asked to complete short questionnaires on the day that their oocytes were retrieved; these questionnaires covered the durations of their infertility, levels of education, sources of pressure, and psychological states. Data concerning IVF outcomes were provided by embryologists and clinicians. The correlations between the duration of infertility and educational level, psychological state and education level, and psychological state and outcome of IVF were analyzed in the cohort study.Results. The duration of infertility in more than half of the females was longer than 5 years. Compared with less-educated women, women with higher levels of education sought treatment earlier and their rates of depressive symptoms were lower. There is an association between negative emotions and outcome of IVF.Conclusions. The survey of the situations of infertile women seeking IVF treatment in China indicates the importance of popularizing knowledge concerning reproductive health. Improving medical conditions, reducing the costs of treatment, and developing social culture will aid in relieving the stress of infertile women and improving assisted reproductive treatment.

Introduction. The use of assisted reproductive technology in a situation of a demographic crisis can contribute to an increase in the birth rate among childless parents. The paper is of relevance as there is a need for a sociological analysis of the youth’s attitudes towards the use of assisted reproductive technology. The purpose of the article is to reveal significant factors affecting the youth’s attitudes towards assisted reproductive technology and its application, based on the results of a case study conducted among young people residing in the city of Saransk. Materials and Methods. The study used the methods of analysis, comparison and correlation. The data of a pilot survey conducted among young people residing in the city of Saransk and statistics were used as the empirical base of the study. The data were collected on the basis of the methodology developed by the authors according to quota sampling (by sex, age and place of residence). Results. The study has revealed the correlation between the respondents’ awareness of assisted reproductive technology and their level of education, age and marital status. It has been established that those respondents who took advantage of assisted reproductive technology, more often used such methods as in vitro fertilization, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and surrogacy. The authors have formulated proposals on the need for the state to increase funding for the assisted reproductive technology programs, when it concerns reproductive health, to allocate quotas, ensuring the availability of the technology for the enforcement of the reproductive rights in society, as well as to inform the public about new types of assisted reproductive technology. Discussion and Conclusion. The results of the study can be used by the authorities, staff of reproductive health centers and in vitro fertilization clinics to develop and plan assisted reproductive technology programs, for conducting monitoring studies on the use of assisted reproductive technology. Prospects for the study are associated with conducting further in-depth qualitative research on parents using assisted reproductive technology.

Pilot Experience

37 Background: Fertility and reproductive health issues are commonly encountered in cancer patients and survivors and unfortunately, they are not systematically addressed in many cancer care centers. We are reporting the initial experience in our dedicated Oncofertility Clinic that was established to address all reproductive and fertility issues for all oncology patients at our cancer center. Methods: We launched the first dedicated oncofertility clinic in the region on April 2018, staffed by a consultant of obstetrics and gynecology with the help of a team from in vitro fertilization (IVF) unit and a medical oncologist. It is held on a weekly basis and receives referral from medical oncology, hematology, stem cell transplant and radiation oncology. Eligible patients are males and premenopausal females going for chemotherapy or radiation therapy aiming for fertility preservation or cancer survivors who completed treatment and complaining of infertility problems. The clinic provides fertility preservation through the following procedures: Oocytes freezing (OF), in-vitro fertilization (IVF), sperm freezing, and ovarian transposition. Oncofertility care also includes management of sexual and hormonal dysfunction, and contraception methods. We are capturing the demographic, clinical data of all patients who were served in the clinic and the number of interventions and procedures that they underwent. Results: Between April 2018 and April of 2020, the clinic served 100 patients 60% were female, Median age was 35 years (16 -39). Diagnoses were distributed between breast cancer (36%), lymphoma (10%), and sickle cell anemia patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplant (10%). The table depicts the types and number of procedures performed on these patients. Conclusions: Our pilot experience revealed the critical need of such clinic to help patients in fertility preservation, management of symptoms of gonadal toxicity. Future plans include implementation of systematic screening approach cancer populations who will benefit from the services and monitor the long- term impact of the clinic on the served patients.

This article analyzes the demographic problems in Russia and PRC. It is concluded that the assisted reproductive technologies (In vitro fertilization, surrogacy, etc.) are effective methods of treating infertility, and thus partially settling those demographic problems. Different views on human rights of reproduction are analyzed. It justifi es the need to protect reproductive health. The number of cases of the use of assisted reproductive technologies in Russia and China is increasing. Legislation governing legal relations in this area needs further development.
