Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Will hospital ovulation monitoring increase stress levels in couples? | The questionnaires used were the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). The instrument uses a 5-point Likert scale rating from "0 = never" to "4=very often"for 14 items. Scores can range from 0 to 56, with higher score indicates greater psychological stress. Compare whether there are differences between hospital ovulation monitoring and home ovulation monitoring. | A year | |

Each domain has seven items with score ranges of 0 to 3, and total scores of 0 to 21. Higher scores indicate higher levels of anxiety and depression. Compare whether there are differences between hospital ovulation monitoring and home ovulation monitoring. | A year | |
