Clinical Trial Summary

Infertility affects approximately 48 million couples and 186 million individuals globally, and it has biological, psychosocial, and economic problems in couples. It is a vital global reproductive health problem that has burdens and affects not only families but also society and the state. Studies indicate that many situations experienced during the infertility treatment process negatively affect the treatment results, and the anxiety of individuals receiving treatment, especially women, is high. The previous literature reports that during the infertility treatment process, women experience a decrease in their anxiety and self-confidence about drug administration, they have doubts about the dose, administration, and time of drugs, and the rate of mistakes made regarding drug administration is too high to be ignored. Such cases may lead to cycle cancellations in infertility treatment, interrupting the treatment, adversely affecting the success of the treatment, and thus exposing the couple to more than one treatment trial. The interruption of the treatment with the cycle cancellation, the increase in the number of treatment attempts, the repetitions cause the woman to be exposed to a higher amount of drug, the cost to increase with each treatment trial, an increase in the economic burden of the couples, and an increase in the financial burden for the country. In addition to these physical and economic burdens, feelings such as anxiety, concern, hopelessness, and depression increase in couples, and they may eventually experience burnout. In order to improve the care of infertile individuals, it is clearly stated in the literature that couples need open communication channels with health care professionals, obtaining qualified information, instilling realistic hope, empowerment, accessibility of care services, and they have unmet and high-quality care needs. The increase in the use and use of web-based education services in the globalizing world gives us hope in providing a solution to this issue. This project was mainly designed to answer the question of "Is the responsive web-based roadmap (InT-mAp) developed in solving the problems encountered in drug administration, treatment success and reducing anxiety in infertile women treated with Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)?" With InT-mAp, which investigators will develop using web-based education technology, which is a distance education method in this age of technology; investigators aimed to reduce/reduce the margin of error in ART treatment-drug practices, to contribute positively to the treatment process, and to reduce the social, economic and psychological burdens by reducing the anxiety level of individuals in this process. Besides, the InT-mAp, which will be developed to meet individuals' education and counseling needs for general infertility issues and the treatment process, will reduce the workload of healthcare professionals working in this field and make a positive contribution to drug administration consultancy. With this study, investigators aimed to provide participants with time-saving, individualized care, to reach the right information whenever they want, regardless of time and place, on every subject they need in the field of infertility. Investigators predict that sufficient follicle development, healthy oocytes and pregnancy can be achieved by creating awareness in infertile women and minimizing the conditions that may adversely affect the treatment process and results. Contributing to the health and economic indicators of the country by reducing cycle cancellations and reducing costs are among our important goals. The most important features that make the project unique are the absence of online support and a sensitive web-based training platform, where the infertility treatment process in Turkey can be followed in detail by the users, and individualized care and training needs are met.
