Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Fertility Preparedness Scale for Women Receiving Fertility Treatment

  The scale is used for the assessment of the levels of stress experienced by infertile couples. As a Likert-type scale, it has three sub-scales in relation to personal, marital and social domains and contains a total of 14 items. 'Stress in personal domain' sub-scale contains six items, and the minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from it are successively 0 and 20 points. 'Stress in marital domain' sub-scale has four items, and the minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from it are successively 0 and 14 points. 'Stress in social domain' sub-scale is comprised of four items, and the minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from it are successively 0 and 12 points. A high score to be obtained from the sub-scale refers to the increase in the stress level.

  Day 12

• The Copenhagen Multi-centre Psychosocial Infertility Fertility Problem Stress

  The scale is used for the assessment of the levels of stress experienced by infertile couples. As a Likert-type scale, it has three sub-scales in relation to personal, marital and social domains and contains a total of 14 items. 'Stress in personal domain' sub-scale contains six items, and the minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from it are successively 0 and 20 points. 'Stress in marital domain' sub-scale has four items, and the minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from it are successively 0 and 14 points. 'Stress in social domain' sub-scale is comprised of four items, and the minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from it are successively 0 and 12 points. A high score to be obtained from the sub-scale refers to the increase in the stress level.

  Day 12

• The Copenhagen Multi-centre Psychosocial Infertility Coping Strategy Scale

  The scale contains 19 items and has four sub-scales. The minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from the sub-scale of 'active-avoidance' coping method which is comprised of four items are successively 4 and 16 points. The sub-scale of 'active-confronting' coping method contains seven items. The minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from this sub-scale are successively 7 and 26 points. The minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from the sub-scale of 'passive-avoidance' coping method which is comprised of three items are successively 3 and 12 points. The sub-scale of 'meaning-based' coping method contains five items. The minimum and maximum scores to be obtained from this sub-scale are successively 5 and 20 points. A higher score to be obtained from the subscale means that the method is used more when coping with with stress.
