Assess the Knowledge on Assisted Reproductive Technique Among Infertile Women
Abstract: This cross-sectional quantitative study examined the level of knowledge about assisted reproductive techniques among infertile women attending the gynecology outpatient department at St. Joseph's Mission Hospital, Anchal, Kollam. Assisted reproductive technologies refer to fertility treatments in which eggs or embryos are handled outside the body, and growing global infertility rates have made awareness of such options increasingly relevant. Drawing on Nola J Pender?s Health Promotion Model, the study explored how individual background and social context relate to understanding of these treatments. Thirty women were selected through convenience sampling between May and June. Data on socio demographic characteristics and knowledge levels were collected and analyzed descriptively. Most participants were between 20 and 29 years of age, had postgraduate education, and lived in semi urban areas. While 40 percent demonstrated very good knowledge and 10 percent showed excellent knowledge, a considerable proportion reported average or poor understanding. No statistically meaningful association was observed between knowledge and selected socio demographic variables. The findings underline the need for structured educational support, and an informational booklet was developed to strengthen awareness and informed decision making among women facing infertility.
