In Vitro Fertilization

In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Reproductive Cloning

Reproductive Cloning

Reproductive cloning is the process of producing a genetically identical copy—a clone—of an entire organism. While clones can be produced by splitting an early embryo—similar to what happens naturally with identical twins—cloning of adult animals is usually done by a process called somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT).
Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer
In SCNT, an egg cell is taken from an animal and its nucleus is removed, creating an enucleated egg. Then a somatic...

Fertilization

Fertilization

During fertilization, an egg and sperm cell fuse to create a new diploid structure. In humans, the process occurs once the egg has been released from the ovary, and travels into the fallopian tubes. The process requires several key steps: 1) sperm present in the genital tract must locate the egg; 2) once there, sperm need to release enzymes to help them burrow through the protective zona pellucida of the egg; and 3) the membranes of a single sperm cell and egg must fuse, with the sperm...

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Reproductive Medicine
Health Informatics

Background:

Couples undergoing assisted human reproduction require specialized support during the welcoming process.
Nurses play a crucial role in mediating this sensitive phase.
Existing educational resources may not adequately address the specific needs of these couples.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the development of an educational technology for nurses.
To create a tool to mediate the welcoming of couples in assisted human reproduction.
To enhance the supportive care provided by nurses in this context.

Main Methods:

Development research with a methodological interface.
Two phases: situational diagnosis and product development.
Semi-structured interviews with 20 couples; data analysis using IRAMUTEQ® software; product creation using textual and image resources.

Main Results:

Six emergent classes from the corpus, organized into three representative categories.
An educational technology in the form of a folder was successfully produced.
The technology is designed to mediate the nurse's welcoming of couples.

Conclusions:

Couple conditions highlighted the necessity for informed support.
Social evidence application favored context-based educational technology development.
The developed folder aims to improve the welcoming experience for couples in assisted reproduction.
