“…Consequently, Gürbüz et al [51] discussed that infertile couples without sufficient counseling from healthcare providers might have many biopsychosocial health problems during the IVF treatment procedure. Many studies, such as [52][53][54] confirm that women who do not receive health strategies have high levels of stress; this is in alignment with the result of the present study, which observed that most of the women before the health education program had a high level of stress.…”

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.

This comprehensive review explores the significant impact of psychological factors on the outcomes of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments. Despite the advancements in medical technology enhancing the physical success rates of IVF procedures, the psychological well-being of individuals undergoing these treatments plays a crucial role in their overall effectiveness. This paper delves into the various psychological stressors faced by couples, including anxiety, depression, and stress, and their direct correlation with IVF treatment outcomes. By examining a wide range of studies, this review highlights the importance of psychological interventions and support systems in improving the success rates of IVF treatments. Furthermore, it discusses the current gaps in the literature and suggests directions for future research. The findings of this review underscore the necessity of integrating psychological care into fertility treatments to address the mental health needs of individuals undergoing IVF, thereby enhancing their quality of life and increasing the likelihood of successful outcomes. Through a detailed analysis of existing research and methodologies, this paper aims to contribute to the understanding of the psychosocial aspects of IVF and encourage the development of more holistic treatment approaches.
