“…However, because Dutch patients generally see many doctors (11), incorporating determinants on this level was not feasible. Furthermore, psychosocial factors such as marital stress and selfesteem, or socioeconomic factors such as income and social class could have explained more variance (17,18). Inclusion of these factors for case-mix adjustment would have been useful, as they may differ between clinics.…”

“…Our study had several strengths. First, we investigated adaptable organizational determinants, whereas other studies mainly concentrated on fixed patient characteristics (7,8,12,17,18,30,45). Moreover, we executed an extensive, systematic, multilevel analysis on patients' experiences.…”

“…Although many studies have investigated determinants of optimal patients' experiences or satisfaction with fertility care (6,16), nearly all the literature has concentrated on demographic, medical, or psychological patient characteristics such as social class (17), length of infertility (10), or self-esteem (18). To close the quality chasm and achieve patient-centered, professionally satisfying care, culture organizational arrangements are necessary (19).…”

“…Given that patients are not always satisfied with all aspects of MAR services (e.g. Sabourin et al, 1991;Haagen et al, 2008) including the emotional support received (van Empel et al, 2010), furthering our understanding of patients' views of counselling has implications for improving such services and working towards a more patient-centered approach to their care (Bengoa et al, 2006).…”

background: This study evaluated couples' perceptions of preparatory psychosocial counselling prior to participation in medically assisted reproduction (MAR).methods: Eighty-three couples about to undergo IUI treatment were asked about their expectations regarding a subsequent single psychosocial counselling session and assessed in terms of their levels of infertility-specific stress, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Afterwards, participants rated their satisfaction with different elements of the session.results: Almost two-thirds of women and one-half of men expected counselling to be important, and the majority anticipated that the session would be helpful and informative. Views of preparatory counselling were significantly more positive afterwards, indicating that a focused session addressing issues of treatment concerns, goal setting and managing infertility stress was more beneficial than anticipated. Those experiencing higher levels of infertility-specific stress expected the counselling session to be more important, and elevated stress and greater utilization of social support were predictive of post-counselling satisfaction.

“…It has been reported that infertile women suffer from various stresses (de Klerk et al, 2008;Matsubayashi, Hosaka, Izumi, Suzuki, & Makino, 2001;Newton, Sherrard, & Glavac, 1999;Niino & Okai, 2008;Verhaak et al, 2007) and need psychological support (Igarashi, Fujii, Kimura, & Mizunuma, 2008;Lechner, Bolman, & van Dalen, 2007;Niino & Okai, 2008;Slade, O'Neill, Simpson, & Lashen, 2007). Studies performed in Canada, the United States, and Australia have shown that infertile women are dissatisfied with the information available about how to become a parent (e.g., by adoption) (Halman, Abbey, & Andrews, 1993;Hammerberg, Astbury, & Baker, 2001;Sabourin, Wright, Duchesne, & Belisle, 1991;Schmidt, 1998;Schmidt, Holstein, Boivin, Sa˚ngren et al, 2003;Schmidt, Holstein, Boivin, Tjornhoj-Thomsen et al, 2003).…”

Objective: To investigate the evaluation of local government Web sites carrying information on infertility by infertile women and by government staff. In particular, the study investigated whether the women and staff differed with respect to the information they rate as important and their self-reported satisfaction with the Web sites. Design and Sample: Cross-sectional descriptive study. Sixty-two local government staff members, of whom 46 were public health nurses managing subsidy programs for infertility treatment in the Hokuriku region of Japan, and 84 infertile women attending local clinics. Measures: We measured the level of satisfaction with the local government Web sites and perceptions about the importance of each type of content. Data were descriptively analyzed, as well as by factor analysis and multiple regression analysis.Results: Local government Web sites were analyzed with respect to information about the treatment, details of the subsidy program, psychological support, and procedures for making a subsidy application. Conclusions: The women rated information on the treatment and details of the subsidy programs as important. There was no difference of satisfaction with the Web sites between the infertile women and the staff. Local government staff need to provide reliable data for women who are seeking information on infertility treatment.
