To determine whether exposure to digital educational content affects fertility awareness and attitudes towards fertility preservation treatments?
A total of 957 women ages 20 to 45 years participated in this internet-based, interventional, cross-sectional study. A questionnaire assessing knowledge of the reproductive span and attitudes towards fertility preservation treatment was completed by these women before and after exposure to online educational content on ovarian reserve and fertility preservation treatments. Responses before and after exposure to the educational content were compared.
Knowledge about female age-related fertility decline improved significantly after exposure to educational content (51.6% vs. 79.6%, p < 0.001). Increased willingness to pursue fertility preservation treatments (38.6% vs. 42.9%, p < 0.001) and to recommend fertility preservation treatments to friends (55% vs. 65.2%, p < 0.001) was observed. Participants who desired to conceive were more positively influenced by the exposure to educational content in their attitudes towards fertility treatments compared to those who do not desire to conceive.
Online educational content has the potential to improve fertility awareness and shape a more positive attitude towards fertility preservation treatments for the public.
探讨接触数字化教育内容是否会影响人们对生育意识和对生育力保存治疗的态度？
本项基于互联网的干预性、横断面研究共纳入了 957 名年龄在 20 至 45 岁的女性。这些女性在接触卵巢储备和生育力保存治疗的在线教育内容之前和之后，完成了一份评估其对生殖范围的知识和对生育力保存治疗的态度的问卷。比较了暴露于教育内容前后的回答。
接触教育内容后，女性对与年龄相关的生育力下降的认识显著提高（51.6%比 79.6%，p<0.001）。人们对生育力保存治疗的意愿增加（38.6%比 42.9%，p<0.001），以及向朋友推荐生育力保存治疗的意愿也增加（55%比 65.2%，p<0.001）。与不希望怀孕的女性相比，希望怀孕的女性对生育治疗的态度更容易受到教育内容的影响。
在线教育内容有可能提高公众的生育意识，并对生育力保存治疗产生更积极的态度。
