This pilot study will test the effect of a 6-week self-help program in improving fertility-related quality of life as well as anxious and depressive symptoms, in women with infertility.
Twenty women with infertility living in Saskatchewan will be recruited and will be emailed six weekly 10-minute videos, each providing instructions on a new psychological technique that is aimed at addressing the emotional and interpersonal challenges of infertility. Fertility-related quality of life, depressive symptoms, and anxious symptoms will be measured before and after the program. Outcomes will also be measured weekly for three weeks post-intervention. Feedback about how to improve the program will also be collected.
2,506 studies on the registry are indexed under Infertility; 407 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 20 is below the median of 120 across 1,698 interventional studies indexed under Infertility.
