“…Given that patients need comprehensive information about their disease nature, complications, and treatment process, education can be considered an effective tool in controlling and improving the disease, reducing costs, and raising public knowledge.

Background Infertility has been considered as a critical health problem for couples and society. Given the worldwide exponential rise of infertility, mobile phone-based applications are drastic ways to deliver nutrition educational content to women with infertility. The present study aimed to prepare the required educational content for designing a mobile phone-based nutrition educational application for women with infertility. Methods Educational contents were initially determined based on the literature review and library studies. As a result, a researcher-made questionnaire was designed containing 28 items in six dimensions. To ensure about the questionnaire’s validity, a panel of experts (15 nutritionists and 5 infertility specialists) was asked to review the items, make revisions (if necessary), and confirm the final contents. The questionnaire reliability was also corroborated using the KR-20 coefficient (0.89). Results While the amount of consumed calories per meal and between meals were not significantly effective on fertility, factors such as main definitions, disease and treatment instructions, personal activities and habits, and menstruation were deemed necessary by the respondents. Participants also suggested adding sections entailing introductions to different types of diets, users' suggestions and opinions, and of the address and contact information of senior nutrition centers to the questionnaire. Conclusions Followed by obtaining the required valid and reliable contents, a mobile phone- based nutrition education application can be designed to improve the patients' knowledge and facilitate their treatment process.

There is an important relationship between nutrition and infertility in women. Most diseases that cause infertility in women can be prevented and treated with proper nutrition. The present study aims to determine the role of nutrition in women's fertility. Samples of this study are all articles published in magazines, books, and theses from the Web Of Sciences, PubMed, Medline, Elsevier, and Google Scholar search engines with the keywords of "female infertility," "nutrition," "diet," "fertility outcomes," "folate," "iron," "omega-3 fatty acids", and "Vitamin." In the beginning, 1052 articles were found, and after reviewing the STROBE checklist, 38 articles were selected. After reviewing the inclusion and exclusion criteria and evaluation, 23 articles were included in the study. Various studies showed that proper nutrition improves women's ovulation parameters and pregnancy outcomes. The reviewed studies suggested a balance between protein and carbohydrates, consuming foods with a low glycemic index, high fiber diet, eating five meals a day, daily consumption of essential fatty acids such as omega 3 and 6, use of organic materials, low-fat proteins, complex carbohydrates, folic acid, antioxidants, vitamins, and foods that cause regular ovulation such as cod liver oil, licorice plant, five-finger plant, thistle, and cinnamon. The results of this comprehensive study indicate that proper nutrition through adequate consumption of micronutrients can positively impact women's fertility. These findings highlight the potential contribution of diet interventions to clinical practice for infertility prevention and management.
