Abstract
Background: Fertility nurses assist infertile couples through cryopreservation, enabling healthy behavior changes and informed decisions. They educate women on oocyte cryopreservation, procedures, and medications, and emphasize the age-fertility relationship, integrating them into evidence-based medicine and technologies.
Aim: The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of an educational program on females’ attitudes toward postponed pregnancy and oocyte cryopreservation at Beni-Suef University.
Subjects and Methods:
Design: A quasi-experimental design was used.
Sample and Settings: A study from Beni-Suef University on a purposive sample consisted of 334 working females at Beni-Suef University.
Tools: (I): An Arabic-structured interview questionnaire sheet, Tool (II): Females' attitudes regarding oocyte cryopreservation.
Results: It presents that 72.8% reported that they delayed marriage to complete their studies, 62.9% had no background on oocyte cryopreservation. There is a statistically significant relation between studied females attitude level and delayed marriage pre & post-program (P-Value= 0.013, 0.019), respectively. 1.5% of studied females who delayed pregnancy had positive attitude level pre-program which improved to 32.9% post-program and 1.8% of studied females who delayed pregnancy had positive attitude level pre-program which improved to 24.6% post-program.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded women's attitudes at Beni-Suef University toward postponing pregnancy and oocyte cryopreservation positively changed after program implementation.
Recommendations: Cooperation between the Ministry of Health and Egyptian Dar Al-Ifta to raise public attitudes about the use of modern technology in oocyte cryopreservation and the use of all health institutions for implementing the health education sessions.
