Abstract

Fertility awareness should be taught to everyone. The International Reproductive Health Education Collaboration (IRHEC) designed a fertility poster in 2019 but did not have a specific target group in mind. Studies have been conducted in Denmark and Sweden to determine how the poster can be redesigned. In this study, we carried out focus groups with young adults in the UK to ask their views of the poster, with the aim of redesigning it. Six focus groups were undertaken with twenty seven, 18-25 year olds. Five questions were asked: 1. What are your thoughts, feelings, and reactions to the poster? 2. Did you learn anything from the poster? 3. How has reading the poster impacted your opinions or thoughts about having children? 4. What are your opinions about using a poster format to inform and start reflections regarding family building? 5. Reading through each point are there any changes to be made? Content analysis was performed. Themes identified revealed the information on the poster gave the participants some anxiety and apprehension, especially regarding the effect of age on fertility, perceptions of IVF, and gaps in knowledge. The fertility education poster is a good resource for education, but other resources should be developed.

年轻人对使用海报了解生育知识的看法：重新设计生育教育海报。

每个人都应了解生育知识。国际生殖健康教育合作组织（IRHEC）于 2019 年设计了一张生育海报，但并未考虑特定的目标群体。丹麦和瑞典进行了研究，以确定如何重新设计海报。在这项研究中，我们与英国的年轻人开展了焦点小组讨论，询问他们对海报的看法，目的是重新设计海报。我们与 27 名 18-25 岁的年轻人进行了六次焦点小组讨论。我们提出了五个问题：1. 你对海报有什么想法、感受和反应？2.你从海报中学到了什么吗？3.阅读海报对你关于生育的观点或想法有什么影响？4.您对使用海报的形式来宣传和启动有关家庭建设的思考有什么看法？5.通读每一点，是否有任何需要修改的地方？进行了内容分析。所确定的主题显示，海报上的信息给参与者带来了一些焦虑和不安，尤其是关于年龄对生育的影响、对试管婴儿的看法以及知识差距。生育教育海报是一个很好的教育资源，但还应开发其他资源。
