A quasi-experimental single-group pre-post design was used at the Outpatient Clinics of the Oncology Center, Mansoura University Hospital, Egypt. A purposive sample of 158 women participated. Outcomes were measured before and after the intervention and included knowledge about oocyte cryopreservation, attitudes toward oocyte cryopreservation, and decisional conflict.
