摘要

Background

Public understanding of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is poorly documented in many countries. This study aims to explore the awareness about ART among the general Jordanian population and its association with sociodemographic and reproductive health education factors.

Methods

A cross-sectional online survey was conducted among Jordanian adults aged between 20 and 65 years. In addition to the demographic data, the questionnaire assessed knowledge about in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and ovulation induction (OI).

Results

From the 902 participants, about half could neither define IVF nor distinguish between IVF from ICSI. Most couldn’t define IUI (70.73%), or ovarian induction (OI) (63.75%). The majority were unaware embryo gluing (89.14%) or assisted hatching (88.47%). Most were unaware of the success rates and didn’t know if using frozen eggs, sperms, or frozen embryos, affected the success rate. Most didn’t know the possible side effects of ovarian stimulation. According to their opinions, IVF success factors were the wife’s age, utilizing preimplantation genetic screening (PGS), and luteal support injections.

Conclusion

Significant gaps in Jordanian community’s knowledge of ART were found by this study. Most participants were unaware of IVF, ICSI, IUI, OI, and their success rates and complex procedures. The need for focused educational interventions to enhance reproductive health literacy.
