My research focuses on the theme of 'the intimacy of couples undergoing fertility treatment', In interactions with people in the process of treatment, it has become clear how important it is for couples to approach treatment in a cooperative and mutually supportive way. In this context, I have developed an 'intimacy self-assessment Program', intended to support couples. And so, I am seeking people who would be interested in participating in this program.

This program is a system designed to diagnose the relationship of couples undergoing fertility treatment. The results are shown on screen, and advice is automatically generated from the answers provided. The content of the questionnaire includes questions about the couple, questions about treatment, and questions about the couple’s general feelings and emotions.

As participation in the survey is voluntary, it will be assumed that completion of the questionnaire indicates agreement to use the results for research purposes. If the questionnaire causes any worries or anxiety, please contact the researcher for support and advice. The questionnaire is anonymous, so no individual will be identified. The responses to the questionnaire will only be used for research purposes. Research results will be presented at academic conferences and in specialist journals.

Based on the above conditions, your cooperation in this research survey would be greatly appreciated.
