Background: Infertility was a global health concern affecting millions of couples and impacting their emotional well-being. In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) offered hope but faced barriers due to misconceptions, poor knowledge, and negative attitudes. Educational tools like self-instructional modules improved awareness, fostered positive attitudes, and supported informed decisions about IVF. However, limited research had evaluated their impact on knowledge and attitudes toward IVF. Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a self-instructional module on knowledge and attitude toward in vitro fertilization (IVF) among infertile couples who attended infertility clinics of selected areas. Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was used with 70 infertile couples from infertility clinics in Nagpur, Maharashtra, selected through purposive sampling. The study lasted one month. Data were collected using a self-structured knowledge questionnaire and a 5-point Likert scale for attitude. After the pre-test, a Self-Instructional Module on IVF was administered, and the post-test was conducted on the 7th day. Content validity was ensured by experts, and data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Result: The pre-test knowledge score (0–20) had a mean of 5.47 (SD=1.25), while the post-test mean increased to 14.58 (SD=1.31). Similarly, the pre-test attitude score (0–90) had a mean of 35.42 (SD=6.03), which improved to 69.45 (SD=2.98) post-test. Paired t-test results showed significant improvement in both knowledge and attitude after using the Self-Instructional Module on In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), indicating that infertile couples enhanced their knowledge and attitude toward IVF. Limitation: Only infertile couples were included in this study. Conclusion: This study contributed to developing knowledge and enhancing attitude towards In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) among infertile couples attending infertility clinics. Providing accurate, accessible, and comprehensible information empowered couples to make informed decisions regarding infertility management.
