Study summary

The Learning from Online Video Education (LOVE) study seeks to determine if online instructional videos on how to administer medication needed for in vitro fertilization (IVF) help improve the quality of life and reduce stress during the IVF process.

Read the detailed description

The Learning from Online Video Education (LOVE) is a randomized controlled trial that seeks to determine the effect of instructional online videos on medication administration on psychological well being during controlled ovarian stimulation.

The investigators hypothesize that usage of online instructional videos by women undergoing their first cycle of controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization or oocyte cryopreservation improves measures of psychological well-being (Infertility Self Efficacy Scale, FertiQoL-T and Perceived stress scores) when compared to subjects that do not have access to this educational resource.

Study arms

  • Placebo comparator
    Control Video

    Subjects will have access to general videos on the in vitro fertilization process. They will not have access to instructional videos related to the administration of controlled ovarian stimulation.

    Other: Control Video

  • Experimental
    Experimental Video

    Subjects will be asked to view instructional videos related to the administration of controlled ovarian stimulation medication during their own controlled ovarian stimulation

    Other: Instructional Video

Interventions

  • OtherInstructional Video

    The experimental group will be asked to view a set of videos that demonstrate proper usage of controlled ovarian stimulation medication. They will have the opportunity to review instructional videos as needed throughout the ovarian stimulation process.

  • OtherControl Video

    The control group will have access to a video about the IVF process

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Infertility Self Efficacy Scale

    Short questionnaire to determine a subjects self efficacy related to fertility treatment

    Time frame: The infertility self efficacy scale score will be collected up to two weeks after egg retrieval

Secondary outcomes

  1. FertiQoL-T score

    The FertiQoL-T questionnaire is a previously validated instrument to assess ones quality of life as it relates to the administration of fertility medication administration.

    Time frame: The Ferti-QoL-T score will be collected up to two weeks after egg retrieval

  2. Perceived stress score

    This is a well validated psychological instrument used to measure one's perception of stress

    Time frame: The perceived stress score will be collected up to two weeks after egg retrieval
