| Abstract: Recently, there are increasing numbers of unmarried healthy reproductive-aged females and young females who have diseases associated with early loss of ovarian reserve. Oocyte cryopreservation for fertility preservation is recognized as a specific technique for freezing one or more unfertilized ovum to be used in the future to get pregnancy. Aim: The aim of this study was to find out the effect of educational program on knowledge, attitudes, and intention of unmarried healthy females regarding oocyte cryopreservation for fertility preservation. Subjects and method: Design: A quasi experimental research design was used to conduct this study. Setting: The study was conducted at 6 faculties of Tanta University Tanta Egypt. Subjects: A simple random sample of 100 unmarried working females was included in the study. Tools: (I): Knowledge, (II): Attitudes, and (III): Intention of unmarried females regarding oocyte cryopreservation for fertility preservation. Results: There was a highly statistical significant difference between pre and post-program implementation in the studied unmarried healthy females’ knowledge, attitudes, and intention regarding oocyte cryopreservation for fertility preservation (p<0.001*). Conclusion: Implementation of the educational program improved knowledge, attitudes, and intention of the studied healthy unmarried females regarding oocyte cryopreservation for fertility preservation. Rrecommendations: Heath education and counselling programs, modules, and guidelines regarding oocyte cryopreservation should be provided by maternity and gynecological nurses to unmarried healthy females to help them have an informed decision to preserve their fertility in order to be pregnant during their preferred time. | ||||
