Development of a Pain Control Options Menu for IUD Insertion
Duke University
Summary
The goal of this study is to evaluate if using a pain management options menu for IUD (intrauterine device) insertion improves patient autonomy, satisfaction, and/or pain. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a pain management options menu for IUD insertion improve patient autonomy? Does a pain management options menu for IUD insertion improve patient satisfaction? Does a pain management options menu for IUD insertion improve patient pain? Researchers will compare survey data from patients receiving IUDs before and after a pain management options menu is implemented. Participants will be asked to answer survey questions addressing their feelings of autonomy, satisfaction, and pain in regards to their IUD insertion experience.
Description
The investigators are developing a pain management options menu to be given to patients who are undergoing IUD insertion with the goal of improving patient autonomy, satisfaction, and pain scores. The investigators will give patients a survey exploring these aspects of the IUD insertion experience and compare the survey results from patients who were surveyed before the menu was implemented and after the menu was implemented.
