Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Infertile individuals frequently attempt behavioral changes to enhance the effectiveness of their treatment and improve fertility outcomes. Consequently, this study was designed to assess the impact of fertility supportive behavior education, grounded in Watson's Human Care Theory, on healthy lifestyle behaviors and the success rates of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with primary infertility

intervention group

The intervention group received fertility supportive behavior education based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring and was given a booklet titled 'Fertility-Supporting Health Training' at the onset of treatment. In addition to routine nursing care, the researcher provided detailed intervention and guidance regarding the booklet throughout the treatment period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fertility supportive behavior education based on Watson's Theory of Human Care

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In this study, Watson's Theory of Human Caring guided the development of a care framework and nursing intervention for women with infertility. The researchers adapted the theory and focused on six of the ten carative factors : 1) Adopting values of humanity and devotion; 4) Developing supportive care relationships; 6) Using problem-solving methods for informed decisions; 7) Tailoring teaching to individual needs; 8) Creating a comfortable, peaceful environment; 9) Assisting with basic needs. The nursing care program, integrated with IVF treatments (14-18 days), involved four transpersonal interviews lasting 45-90 minutes each. These interviews were recorded in notes, used to individualize future sessions. The approach included active listening, empathy, and support, with participants encouraged to keep diaries for discussion. Communication was maintained in person, by phone, or email.

Routine nursing care

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Routine nursing care during IVF treatment includes:

Pre-Treatment Counseling: Providing information and addressing patient questions.

Medication Administration: Giving prescribed fertility drugs and other medications.

Assisting with Procedures: Preparing and assisting with egg retrieval and embryo transfer.

Emotional Support: Offering emotional and psychological support. Education: Instructing on medication use, self-care, and recognizing complications.

Follow-Up Care: Scheduling and managing follow-up appointments to monitor progress

The booklet "Fertility-Supporting Health Training

Intervention Type DEVICE

This booklet was prepared in line with the relevant literature and contained educational content aimed at improving healthy lifestyle behaviours . The training booklet included information on the effects of factors such as obesity, weakness, exposure to environmentally harmful substances, smoking and caffeine use on fertility and the methods of coping with these factors. In addition, information on how to use proper nutrition, develop exercise habits and cope with stress was provided. The booklet was distributed to the women at at the onset of the study.
