WebIVF Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether an IVF web-based teaching tool is better than a didactic lecture in teaching patients, reducing stress, and increasing satisfaction.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who are English-speaking, can consent, have internet access, and are undergoing their first IVF cycle. It's not for those who've had previous IVF treatments or teaching sessions, or haven't completed a baseline knowledge questionnaire.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares an interactive web-based teaching tool with a traditional didactic lecture for educating IVF patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods and evaluated on knowledge gain, stress levels, and satisfaction during their treatment cycle.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, there aren't typical side effects like you'd expect from medication. However, participants may experience varying levels of stress or satisfaction with the different teaching methods.

Experimental Treatment

Active Control

Group I: Web-based Teaching GroupExperimental Treatment4 Interventions

Patients randomized to the intervention group will receive a unique login and password to a link on the Ottawa Fertility Centre website. This will allow them access to a secure site containing required teaching modules. They will then complete an interactive teaching tool that contains the same educational content as the traditional presentation. Patients will be able to access a module that is specific to their stimulation protocol. The teaching tool does not need to be completed all at one time. Once completed, the information can still be accessed as many times as required.

Group II: Control groupActive Control4 Interventions

Participants randomized to the control arm of the study will participate in a traditional didactic teaching session. This session will be carried out by the nurse educator. This session will be attended by up to 10 other couples that may or may not be participating in the study. The nurse educator administering the session will not know which couples are participating in the study. Slides shown and information conveyed will be the same as that provided to the web-based group, however all three stimulation protocols will be presented to the participants regardless of their actual treatment protocol.
