Digital Health Literacy and Oocyte Cryopreservation Among Women With Gynecological Cancer

8. Juli 2026 aktualisiert von: Eman Atef Elsokary, Benha University

Digital Health Literacy and Oocyte Cryopreservation: Perspectives of Newly Diagnosed Gynecological Cancer Women

This study evaluated a digital health literacy education intervention related to oocyte cryopreservation among newly diagnosed women with gynecological cancer. A quasi-experimental single-group pre-post design was used at the Outpatient Clinics of the Oncology Center, Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. A purposive sample of 158 women participated. Outcomes were measured before and after the intervention and included knowledge about oocyte cryopreservation, attitudes toward oocyte cryopreservation, and decisional conflict. The intervention used videos, images, WhatsApp, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, PowerPoint slides, short text messages, simple Arabic-language educational materials, and follow-up through phone or social media when needed. Outcomes were reassessed at the end of week 4.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Newly diagnosed women with gynecological cancer may face fertility-related concerns before starting cancer treatment. This study assessed whether a digital health literacy education intervention related to oocyte cryopreservation could improve women's knowledge, attitudes, and decisional conflict.

The study used a quasi-experimental single-group pre-post design. It was conducted at the Outpatient Clinics of the Oncology Center at Mansoura University Hospital, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt. The study included 158 newly diagnosed women with gynecological cancer selected using purposive sampling.

Eligible participants were women aged 18 to 45 years who were newly diagnosed with gynecological cancer, had not received cancer treatment, had not received cryopreservation instructions before, and had access to a smartphone, internet connection, and social media. Women who had received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or hormonal therapy, or who had learning difficulties such as dementia or vision impairment, were excluded.

were women Baseline data were collected using a structured interview questionnaire and study tools assessing knowledge about gynecological cancer and oocyte cryopreservation, attitudes toward oocyte cryopreservation, and decisional conflict. The digital health literacy intervention was delivered using videos, visually engaging images, WhatsApp groups, Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings, PowerPoint slides, short text messages, interactive visuals and animations, simple Arabic language, and instructive pictures. The educational content covered general information about gynecological cancer and fertility, fertility preservation options, and detailed information about oocyte cryopreservation, including definition, indications, advantages, benefits, and process steps. Content also included embryo cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, fertility-sparing surgery, and ovarian transposition.

Four sessions were delivered, with 20 women per group. Each session was held three days per week on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday and lasted 30 to 45 minutes. Follow-up was conducted by phone or social media as needed to reinforce planning and address barriers. Outcomes were reassessed at the end of week 4 using the same instruments.

Experimental: Digital Health Literacy Intervention
Participants received a digital health literacy education intervention related to oocyte cryopreservation. Outcomes were measured before and after the intervention.
The intervention included videos, visually engaging images, WhatsApp groups, Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings, PowerPoint slides, short text messages, interactive visuals/animations, simple Arabic-language educational materials, and instructive pictures. The educational content covered general information about gynecological cancer and fertility, fertility-preservation options, and detailed information about oocyte cryopreservation, including definition, indications, advantages/benefits, and process/steps. Content also included embryo cryopreservation, ovarian tissue cryopreservation, fertility-sparing surgery, and ovarian transposition. Follow-up was conducted by phone or social media as needed.

Change in Knowledge Regarding Oocyte Cryopreservation
Zeitfenster: Pre-intervention and end of week 4
Knowledge regarding oocyte cryopreservation was assessed using the Oocyte Cryopreservation Knowledge Questionnaire. The questionnaire included 20 multiple-choice questions covering general information about gynecological cancer and fertility, fertility preservation options, and oocyte cryopreservation. Each correct answer was scored 1 and each incorrect or "don't know" answer was scored 0. The total score ranged from 0 to 20, with higher scores indicating higher knowledge. Scores of 60% or higher were classified as satisfactory knowledge.
Pre-intervention and end of week 4
Change in Attitude Toward Oocyte Cryopreservation
Zeitfenster: Pre-intervention and end of week 4
Attitude toward oocyte cryopreservation was assessed using an attitude scale developed by the researchers after reviewing the literature. The scale included 15 statements: 11 positive statements and 4 negative statements. Responses were scored using a three-point Likert scale: agree = 2, uncertain = 1, and disagree = 0. Negatively worded items were reverse scored. The total score ranged from 0 to 30, with higher scores indicating a more positive attitude toward oocyte cryopreservation. Scores of 70% or higher were classified as positive attitude.
Pre-intervention and end of week 4
Change in Decisional Conflict Regarding Oocyte Cryopreservation
Zeitfenster: Pre-intervention and end of week 4
Decisional conflict regarding oocyte cryopreservation was assessed using the 16-item Decisional Conflict Scale. Items were organized into five domains related to feeling informed, value clarification, support, uncertainty, and effective decision-making. Responses were scored on a five-point scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The total score ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater decisional conflict. Scores less than 25 indicated low decisional conflict, scores between 25 and 37.5 indicated moderate decisional conflict, and scores above 37.5 indicated high decisional conflict.
