Uniform Communication by Midwives in Preparation for an IVF Treatment

Dutch-speaking women who are about to start an IVF treatment will be approached. If they are willing to participate in the study, they will receive an email with a link to an online questionnaire. This questionnaire will evaluate the communication by the midwive in preparation for an IVF treatment. When 50 women have completed the questionnaire a standardized communication protocol will be enrolled. Once all midwives are trained, 50 other IVF patients will be asked to complete the slightly adapted post questionnaire.The data from both questionnaires will be compared.
