简要总结
Reproductive health problems, particularly infertility, affect 48 million couples globally, ranking as the fifth most serious global obstacle for women. Infertility can lead to significant psychosocial effects, including stress, anxiety, and depression, with women experiencing these impacts more severely than men. In vitro fertilization (IVF) offers a solution but comes with emotional, physical, and psychosocial challenges, particularly for women, who often experience fatigue, headaches, weight gain, and stress. Effective support mechanisms, such as information and education, are crucial in improving the IVF experience. Video-assisted educational programs have shown promise in enhancing knowledge and reducing stress during IVF treatment. However, there is a lack of studies evaluating their impact on the quality of life and psychosocial status of women undergoing IVF. This study aims to examine the effect of video-supported training on drug use, quality of life, and psychosocial status of women during IVF treatment, hypothesizing that it will improve quality of life, increase emotional capacity, and reduce anxiety.

盲法说明
In the single-blind method, subjects do not know which of the experimental or control groups they were selected and therefore which method was applied to them. The researcher knows the subjects selected for the experimental and control groups, and therefore which method was applied to which subjects.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental Group
Participants will complete a demographic and treatment-related questionnaire. Prior to starting ovulation induction, they will complete the SCREENIVF, STAI, and FertiQol scales. On the first day of ovulation induction, participants will receive face-to-face and video-assisted education on prescribed medications, covering purpose, dose, administration, injection technique, timing, effects, and side effects. After follicle tracking confirms readiness for egg retrieval, participants will receive individual education on the ovulation-triggering medication, followed by QR code-linked educational videos specific to this medication. Post-oocyte aspiration, once sedation effects wear off, participants will complete the SCREENIVF, STAI, and FertiQol scales, along with an Education Satisfaction Evaluation Form.
干预措施: Education via video (QR code links) (Other)
Control Group
Participants will complete a demographic and treatment-related questionnaire. Before starting ovulation induction, they will complete the SCREENIVF, STAI, and FertiQol scales. On the first day of ovulation induction, participants will receive face-to-face education on medication use, covering purpose, dose, administration, injection technique, timing, effects, and side effects. After ovulation induction, follicle tracking will occur. Upon readiness for egg retrieval, participants will receive individual education on the medication to trigger ovulation. After oocyte aspiration and recovery from sedation, participants will complete the SCREENIVF, STAI, and FertiQol scales, plus an Education Satisfaction Evaluation Form. Control group participants seeking continued treatment after a failed cycle will receive post-study access to video-assisted medication education via QR codes.
结局指标
主要结局
State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)
时间窗: to both groups before the intervention and after oocyte aspiration (OPU)
A 40-item inventory developed by Spielberger et al. (1970) and adapted to Turkish by Öner and Le Compte (1983). The inventory measures situational anxiety (20 items) and trait anxiety (20 items).
Introductory Information Form
时间窗: to both groups before the intervention
A 28-question form designed by researchers to gather sociodemographic, general health, obstetric, and gynecological history of the participants.
Screening Tool on Distress in Fertility Treatment's (SCREENIVF)
时间窗: to both groups before the intervention and after oocyte aspiration (OPU)
A tool recommended by ESHRE to assess psychosocial risk factors in individuals undergoing infertility treatment. The Turkish version consists of 28 items measuring anxiety, social support, helplessness, acceptance, and depression.
Education Satisfaction Evaluation Form
时间窗: to both groups after oocyte aspiration (OPU)
A form developed by researchers to assess satisfaction with medication education. It uses a 0-10 scale, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction. The form for the experimental group will also record video viewing behavior.
Fertility quality of life tool (FertiQoL)
时间窗: to both groups before the intervention and after oocyte aspiration (OPU)
A 36-item scale developed by Boivin et al. (2011) to assess the quality of life in individuals with fertility problems. The Turkish version was validated by Dural et al. (2016).
