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

Arms & Interventions
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.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II instrument
Time Frame: Both groups completed a Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile instrument and pre-test measures, at the onset of the study. At the end of treatment after embryo transfer they were administered test measures.After 3 months were administered posttest measure
The Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II) is a widely-used instrument for evaluation of health behaviour which has been validated in multiple studies. Based on Pender's Health Promotion Model, it conceptualises an individual's health-promoting lifestyle in terms of the following dimensions; health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations and stress management.
Secondary Outcomes
- A quantitative human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG or hCG) blood test(14 days after embryo transfer)
