Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el impacto de la ansiedad y el bienestar psicológico de la pareja en la transición a la paternidad. Una muestra de 256 participantes se dividió en cinco grupos: 54 “no buscan embarazo”, dos grupos que buscan el embarazo, 50 “infértil que no consiguen embarazo” y 50 “infértil que logra el embarazo”, 50 “embarazo natural” y 52 “fértil con niños”. Se utilizó el Inventario de Ansiedad Estado-Rasgo (STAI) y la Escala de Bienestar Psicológico de la pareja (EBP). El “grupo infértil que logra el embarazo” es el que tiene más altos niveles de ansiedad estado, aunque, en relación con la ansiedad rasgo, es el grupo que “no busca embarazo” el que muestra los niveles más altos. En cuanto al bienestar psicológico en la pareja, el grupo “embarazo natural” es el que muestra las puntuaciones más bajas. Estos resultados demuestran el posible papel funcional que la ansiedad estado en los niveles no clínicos puede jugar en el embarazo y confirma que el bienestar psicológico en la relación de pareja disminuye sólo durante el embarazo.
