“…The goal is to produce health materials that patients with deficient skills can comprehend as well as patients without such deficiencies. For comparing high-level information such as the quality of treatment-supporting evidence or a summarized rating of a treatment's success, work has shown that icons such as star ratings or symbols are preferred over other representations (Hildon et al, 2012;Bunge et al, 2010). Other research suggests that graphics increase the believability of information (Hollands and Marteau, 2012).…”

Medical treatments carry unique benefits and risks which patients must understand in order to decide which option is best for them. Prior research has demonstrated that patients are illequipped to understand the statistical information presented to them through standard decision aids. We describe a prototype decision aid, TreatmentExplorer, which supports patients' needs by presenting treatment outcome, onset of symptoms, and treatment side effects using a novel graphic representation with staged animation and text-only narration. Our prototype also illustrates the use of a data driven personalization approach by using electronic health record data. We report on expert reviews, a pilot study (n=24) and a main study (n=42), which characterize the benefits of TreatmentExplorer over a text-only decision aid as well as a version without staged animation, and conclude with guidelines for designers. Research HighlightsDesign insights and evaluation results for the TreatmentExplorer suggest that patients may experience better knowledge gains if designers: Show outcomes and side effects graphically  Use staged-animation with guided narration  Begin each narration from the same state  Follow a consistent narration order  Provide both replay and skip-through options  Explain one data point per stage  Give users control over the flow of narration

SummaryThe World Health Organization (WHO) has indicated that 8–12% of couples worldwide experience infertility, and in recent years the number seeking treatment has dramatically increased. The diagnosis and therapy put a heavy psychological and physical burden on most patients, female and male. The incidence of depression in couples presenting for infertility treatment is significantly higher than in comparable fertile couples. Anxiety is significantly higher in infertile couples than in the general population. Professionals have become aware of the importance of providing educational interventions to address patients' fears and concerns, and to better prepare patients for the demands of treatment. Health professionals should follow a patient-centred approach to provide for the specific needs of the couple. Women in general have a positive attitude to seeking psychological help in the form of cognitive-behavioural therapy, couples counselling and infertility counselling.Learning Objectives•Learn about the incidence rates of infertility and its impact on the mental health of the couple.•Know about infertility treatment and its psychological impact.•Learn about the different management strategies that can be helpful in the treatment of mental illness associated with infertility.
