Background Stress and dissatisfaction are common issues among patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The process of IVF can be emotionally and psychologically challenging, leading to stress, anxiety, and depression
in patients. This can be exacerbated by factors such as the length of infertility, the uncertainty of the outcome,
and the financial burden of treatment. Additionally, the physical demands of the treatment, the side effects of medication,
and the fear of failure can contribute to dissatisfaction and emotional strain in IVF patients. This pre-post intervention
study design aimed to evaluate the effect of a health education program on knowledge, stress, and satisfaction
among 100 infertile women undergoing IVF attending the Woman’s Health Hospital’s infertility outpatient clinic
and IVF unit at Assiut University. Knowledge and stress were measured by women’s knowledge about IVF and the perceived
stress scale, respectively. The satisfaction was measured using the Scale of Patient Satisfaction about IVF.
Results There is a marked improvement in the knowledge of infertile women, with a significant reduction in their
stress levels after the health education program. Furthermore, the satisfaction scores of the women who participated
in the program improved significantly.
Conclusion The health education program demonstrated a positive impact on knowledge, stress levels, and satisfaction
among infertile women undergoing IVF. These findings highlight the positive impact of the program on the participants
and emphasize the importance of continuous educational programs regarding IVF to improve knowledge,
decrease stress levels, and increase their overall satisfaction with the treatment.
