Online health searching and stress during infertility treatment

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study at Acıbadem University will record how often Turkish-speaking women undergoing infertility treatments search for health information online and measure their infertility-related stress and overall emotional and social well-being using validated questionnaires. Women currently receiving treatments such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI who can complete surveys in Turkish will be invited, while those with diagnosed psychological disorders are excluded. Data collection relies on self-report measures of online information-seeking behavior (cyberchondria) and standardized scales for anxiety, depression, and social functioning collected during clinic visits or via secure forms. No medical interventions are given; the primary aim is to characterize associations between online searching and emotional outcomes to inform patient support.
