Vaginal Examination Drape Supporting Women's Privacy
Sponsor: KTO Karatay University
Summary
This single-blind, parallel-group randomised controlled trial evaluates whether a vaginal examination drape designed to support women's privacy reduces pain and improves perceived privacy and examination satisfaction during gynaecological vaginal examination. Women aged 18 and over undergoing vaginal examination at a gynaecology and obstetrics outpatient clinic are randomly allocated 1:1 to an intervention group, in which the privacy-supporting drape is used, or a control group receiving the clinic's routine examination practice. Immediately after the examination, pain (Visual Analogue Scale), examination satisfaction (Gynecologic Examination Satisfaction Scale) and perceived body privacy (Body Privacy in Gynaecology and Obstetrics Scale) are assessed.
