KindMap
An e-mental health intervention tool for improving well-being and mental health in people facing infertility: A feasibility Randomized Control Trial
Infertility affects millions of people of reproductive age worldwide, and its consequences extend to emotional, relational and social life domains. This experience may induce infertility-related stress, anxiety, and depression and activate maladaptive emotion regulation mechanisms. The KindMap is an Information and Communication Technology-based intervention comprising mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and compassion components targeting people with infertility. KindMap contents are derived from the adaptation of the Mindfulness-Based Program for Infertility (MBPI) – in-person psychological group intervention. Adapting the MBPI to a cost-free, self-guided web-app will increase accessibility, but it remains unknown if feasible.
The current project aims to refine and test the KindMap prototype version’s feasibility and explore the causal theory underlying KindMap.
The KindMap project will contribute to the provision of a free and easy to use psychological intervention aiming at improving the well-being, infertility self-efficacy and mental health of those affected by infertility.
