BACKGROUND: Attachment style may influence distress and relationship satisfaction in infertile couples. Appraisal and coping have also been linked to adjustment to infertility and may be related to attachment patterns. The study examined these associations in men and women around the time of attending initial appointments at fertility clinics.
METHODS: Attachment, appraisal, coping, general well-being, infertility-related stress and relationship satisfaction questionnaires were completed by 98 women and 64 men. Data were analysed by gender comparisons, correlations and path analysis.
RESULTS: Attachment anxiety was associated with well-being in women via appraisal of infertility as a loss and use of self-blame and avoidance (SBA) coping. Attachment anxiety was also linked with infertility-related stress through SBA. In men, attachment anxiety was associated with well-being and infertility-related stress again via SBA coping. Attachment anxiety and avoidance were related to lower relationship satisfaction in women, whereas only the former was important for men.
CONCLUSIONS: Attachment patterns link to couples' relationship satisfaction and are associated with adjustment via appraisal and coping. Identification of such patterns may assist in identifying need and tailoring cognitive interventions to individuals. Participants were mainly white and well-educated, and wider generalization cannot automatically be assumed.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare and contrast detailed accounts of a community sample of women, with prospectively defined low or high premenstrual symptoms, highlighting differences/similarities.
METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 women (9 with 'low' and 7 with 'high' symptom levels) and analysed using template analysis.
RESULTS: 'Low symptom' women perceived themselves as generally laid back but demonstrated a need for organization and control in the family environment. They accepted less than perfect relationships, compared themselves favourably to others and perceived themselves as having strong support networks. There was a negative perception of the introduction to menarche but this was coupled with strong maternal support. 'High symptom' women showed patterns of perfectionism, an emphasis on self-sacrifice and unfavourable comparison of self with others. They reported feeling alone, overwhelmed by tasks and experienced relationships as characterized by unresolved tensions. Menarche was viewed as a positive experience but accompanied by low maternal support. Both groups viewed their symptoms as irrational and controllable outside the home, but vented on partner, close family and children. There was acknowledgement of difference from 'normal' ('low') with an emphasis on the all-encompassing nature of symptoms ('high').
CONCLUSIONS: Women with high and low menstrual cycle symptoms viewed aspects of themselves and their relationships with others in both similar and different ways. A major issue for high symptom women was that they struggled to tolerate imperfections, both in their own performance or in their relationships with others, potentially emphasizing the role of cognitive appraisals in interventions.

Bradley, R., SLADE, P., & Leviston, A. (2008). Low rates of PTSD in men attending childbirth: preliminary study. British Journal of Clinical Psychology, 47, 295-302.
Objectives:
To investigate whether men experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after attending their partner's labour and delivery and the prevalence and predictors of symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Design:
This quantitative study involved a large sample, within-participants design with questionnaires completed at recruitment and six weeks follow-up.
Methods:
Within 72 hours of attending their partner giving birth, 199 men provided demographic details and completed questions about their partner's pregnancy, labour and delivery. Six weeks later they completed a second questionnaire booklet containing measures of symptoms of post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression.
Results:
No men reported symptoms at significant levels on all three dimensions of PTSD (intrusions, avoidance, and hyperarousal) although 12% reported clinically significant symptoms on at least one dimension. The dimension with the highest frequency was hyperarousal. Linear regression indicated more PTSD symptoms were predicted by trait anxiety, fewer children, the pregnancy being unplanned, being present at actual delivery, and feeling less confident about coping, less prepared, and more distressed during the process of childbirth. Prevalence of clinically significant symptoms of depression and anxiety was 8 and 7%, respectively, and was predicted by higher trait anxiety.
Conclusions:
In this sample there was little evidence for the full constellation of PTSD in men attending their partner giving birth. Using a trauma perspective in this context may not be supported. Those symptoms most commonly reported could be viewed primarily as anxiety and were linked with less previous experience of attending childbirth. Attendance at actual delivery was a key predictor of symptoms.

The study investigated whether perceived antenatal social support and attitudes to emotional expression are associated with postnatal distress in new parents and whether attitudes to emotional expression are themselves linked with perceptions of social support. Eighty-six women and 66 men expecting their first baby completed the DUKE-UNC Functional Social Support Questionnaire (FSSQ) and the Attitudes Towards Emotional Expression (AEE) both antenatally and postnatally. Depressive symptoms and well-being were measured using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Well-being Questionnaire (WBQ), respectively, in the third trimester and at 6 weeks postnatally. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) was also used to measure depressive symptoms in the postnatal period. Both mothers and fathers reporting higher perceived social support in pregnancy reported significantly lower levels of distress 6 weeks postnatally. Perceptions of emotional support for fathers and both practical and emotional social support for mothers decreased between pregnancy and the postnatal period. Parents with more positive attitudes towards emotional expression reported significantly higher social support. Attitude towards emotional expression was not associated with distress postnatally.
Perceived social support may be protective for new fathers as well as mothers. Further research regarding the link between the psychological health of new fathers, and the transition of the couple to a family is needed.
