“…According to the mean score of total knowledge in the pre-health program among women, the results recorded those infertile women had a low mean score of knowledge of 11.72 ± 5.70. This result aligns with [20,27] who stated that there is a relatively low level of knowledge about ART among women, with many having limited awareness of the different types of ART procedures available. They highlight the value of a well-designed health education booklet to empower and educate infertile couples about the IVF process, enabling them to make informed decisions and actively participate in their fertility treatment.…”

“…The questionnaire was designed by reviewing previous relevant studies [6,21,[26][27][28] and was translated into Arabic and then back into English to confirm that the translated version communicated the correct meaning. The questionnaire included 19 questions such as the definition of IVF, causes of infertility, possible risks of treatment, the success rate of IVF, whether sexual intercourse should be avoided 3 days before the egg retrieval process, a period of rest, and relaxation immediately after the embryo transfer, recommended nutrition during IVF, deep breathing exercises to alleviate stress, and chemical substances to avoid during IVF.…”

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.

“…The findings in this study revealed 230(85.2%) awareness level of ART approaching the over 90% obtained in developed countries. This proportion is an improvement over the 73.0% and 76.5% awareness level reported in Benin and Zaria respectively 2,24 but lower than a study reported in Northern Nigeria with an awareness level of 90.3% 21 . Furthermore, there were variations in the knowledge about the different services/options offered by ART.…”

Female infertility was reported to account for about 55% of infertility cases, male factor accounted for about 30% to 40% of infertility cases and unexplained infertility accounted for the remaining 5 percent to 15 percent of cases. In Africa, infections resulting in tubo-peritoneal factor and oligo-azoospermia (low sperm count) are the most common causes of infertility. Infertility is widespread in Sub-Saharan Africa ranging from 13–17 in most countries with pockets of high prevalence at 32%. The general objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, attitude, and perception of Assisted Reproductive Technology among patients attending health clinics within the prevailing fragile health infrastructure in Nigeria. The aims of study, therefore, are to assess the knowledge of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) among patients attending BUTH health clinics, to ascertain the attitudes of BUTH patients towards ART as a treatment method for infertility, and to ascertain the perception of ART among patients attending clinics at BUTH. It was observed that the overall level of awareness in this study was high but with a fair knowledge level that can be attributed to the rise in social media use. Both men and women were able to correctly describe the major causes of infertility. Most importantly was the visible change in narrative against the previous belief of ART being majorly for female causes of infertility to both male and female causes. However, many participants had a negative attitude towards the use of ART and gamete donation. These findings have implications for the planning and implementation of infertility-related programmes that will help to tackle inherent challenges undermining the full utilization of ART services in Nigeria.

“…Knowledge plays a major role in decision-making, because to be well informed in nursing practice is to be knowledgeable about different skills required to enhance the recovery of patient. [15] The findings from this study revealed overall fair knowledge about postoperative pain management among the nurses. In 2019, Tinaikar and Anuradha [16] carried out a crosssectional study on nursing staff working in a tertiary hospital attached to KRIMS, India, for a period of 2 months.…”

Postoperative pain is a common, predictable and expected experience following surgery, and if not adequately managed leads to delayed postoperative recovery, poor prognosis, increased mortality and morbidity and increased risk for pain becoming chronic. [1] This can lead to a decline in the patient's functionality and productivity, and consequently have a negative effect on their quality of life. [2] The relief of pain has been and remains one of the major campaigns in the health sector, but regardless of this, studies continue to reveal poor and ineffective postoperative pain management by healthcare providers. [3] This problem has been identified in underdeveloped, developing and developed countries: it is a global challenge. The Institute of Medicine in 2010 described quality in healthcare as 'the degree of healthcare provided to patient populations sufficient to improve their desired health outcomes'. [4] They identified six basic steps to high-quality healthcare: care must be effective; safe and reliable; patient-centred; efficient; timely; and equitable. Adequate pain management has consequently been described as: conducting a detailed clinical assessment of pain, periodically reassessing the patient's responses to pain treatment, and developing a modality of care that is safe, involves the patient and his or her family members and is culturally consistent and developmentally appropriate. [5] Quality pain management training is important in ensuring effective patient care, and this can be achieved by empowering nurses with adequate knowledge and skills needed for the provision of quality postoperative pain management. [6] The drive to improve postoperative pain management has been in place for some time, but nurses continue to experience challenges in this area of practice. [7] Accreditation of healthcare organisations in 2000 specifically demands pain assessment and documentation, staff education in pain management and competency assessments, adequate pain control to allow functional rehabilitation, and education of patients and families on pain and symptom management. [7,8] The fact, however, remains that most professions have neglected the concept of pain in their curriculum at undergraduate level and even during clinical practice. [9] The reported undermanaged postoperative pain in different studies has affected institutions adversely, and contributes to decreased patient satisfaction and longer impaired mobility and hospital stay, increased morbidity and mortality and, consequently, poorer quality of life. [10-12] Poor management of postoperative acute pain can contribute to medical complications including pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, infection and delayed healing, as well as the development of chronic pain. It is therefore important that all patients undergoing surgery should receive adequate pain management. However, evidence suggests this is not currently the case: between 10% and 50% of patients develop complications related to Background. Postoperative pain management is a way of reducing or e...
