Usability of the website
Findability of the website 10 22% Q:Hard to find
Q: I think it is awkward that the website is only findable through the Freya website
I: I wouldn’t know how to find the website, unless through the Freya website
Accessibility of the website 2 4% I: I was unable to find the log-in location or request a new password
Content of the website
Comprehensiveness of clarifying text 1 2% Q: Unclear
Clearness of description of the goal of the wiki 4 8% I: The description is a bit unclear; therefore, I previously thought to check it more precisely, but I still haven’t done this
I: I had not concluded that the recommendations were directly integrated in a professional guideline
Clearness of instructions for use 1 2%
Satisfaction with formulated recommendations 8 16% I:...but there are recommendations I am not satisfied with, I would suggest that participants can prioritize recommendations that they are satisfied with in an earlier stage, then you only have to list the most important recommendations in one screen
Similarity between actual preferences and recommendations 4 8% Q: I would like to see why a specific recommendation was formulated, separately from the recommendation
I: There are too many recommendations on the website, but there are recommendations I am not satisfied with. I would suggest that participants can prioritize recommendations that they are satisfied with
Clarity of the structure in which recommendations are placed on the website 30 66% I: Structure is good but the provided sections are incomplete, for example the care provided by a psychologist or other forms of mental counseling. Psychosocial concerns are always underestimated in fertility care
Q: The used structure is good, but for searching an existing recommendation it would be valuable to add a search function to the website
Relationship between length and number of recommendations and their presentation on one screen 32 71% Q: There are too many recommendations on the website
I: Recommendations are too long, sometimes it’s more like a story, which is very interesting, but I wonder if the doctors are taking this as serious input to a guideline
Q: The prioritization is hard due to the large number of recommendations
Education provision on the website 19 42% Q: It might be valuable if the website provides usable links to high-quality websites
Q: Information on treatment options might enrich the website
Q: I would like to find information on causal factors of infertility
Q: Practical information about compensations for treatment per insurance company, regional psychological services, plural miscarriages, infertility, and referral
Characteristics of the wiki
Usability of wiki methodology 6 13% Q: The website is not user friendly...the number of visible recommendations makes it unclear
Q: Recommendations given contain too many words
I: I really don’t have a clue about what constitutes a high-quality recommendation
I: It would be valuable to apply an automatic program, through which patients are able to formulate recommendations
Accessibility of wiki methodology
Efficiency of wiki methodology 5 11% Q: Prioritizing is hard and not efficient in this stage, the list of recommendations is too long
I: The efficiency might be improved if you ask patients immediately after formulating a recommendation to prioritize the most important recommendations
Layout of the website
Impression of the layout 33 73% Q: Nonattractive/not a modern/not a fashionable website
Q: The layout is not from today
Q: Looks unprofessional
Communication with wiki users
Marketing 6 13% Q: This good initiative requires a better marketing approach to reach more participants
Community feeling of the wiki 3 6% I: More communication on related activities and results will increase the number of patients that will come back
Q: Effect of the recommendations on the guideline is unclear
