To obtain pertinent information from individuals who have either experienced cross-border reproductive care, or have considered doing so.
International online survey of patients in collaboration with patient support groups in Australia and Canada.
RESULT(S): Analysis of data is based on 95 usable responses, of which 28 were from individuals who indicated that they had previously participated in cross-border reproductive care. Key areas investigated in the survey included the reasons for undertaking or considering cross-border reproductive care, the specific reproductive services sought, countries in which reproductive care is sought, and participants' experiences of cross-border reproductive services. This study identified the availability of counseling services and other factors affecting patient experiences as important issues that participants considered should be taken into account by potential users of cross-border reproductive care. The internet and other media were shown to be significant sources of information about reproductive services in other countries.
CONCLUSION(S): This study highlights an essential need for accessible, accurate, and reliable information to help ensure safe and high quality care, as well as emphasizing the role that clinics in patients' home countries, feedback from other patients, governments, regulatory agencies, and Internet-based services might play in making this information more readily available.
从有跨境生育服务经历或有考虑进行跨境生育服务的个人处获取相关信息。
与澳大利亚和加拿大的患者支持团体合作，开展国际在线调查。
数据分析基于 95 份有效回复，其中 28 份来自表示之前有过跨境生育服务经历的个人。调查中重点研究的领域包括进行或考虑跨境生育服务的原因、寻求的具体生育服务、寻求生育服务的国家，以及参与者跨境生育服务的体验。本研究确定了咨询服务的可及性以及影响患者体验的其他因素，认为这些都是潜在跨境生育服务使用者应考虑的重要问题。研究显示，互联网和其他媒体是获取其他国家生殖服务信息的重要来源。
本研究强调了获取可及、准确和可靠信息的重要性，以确保安全和高质量的护理，同时强调了患者原籍国的诊所、其他患者的反馈、政府、监管机构和基于互联网的服务可能在提供此类信息方面发挥的作用，以使其更易于获取。
