What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in anxiety scores

    Each women completes the state anxiety questionnaire (state-trait anxiety inventory \[STAI\]) 10 minutes before and 10 minutes after colposcopy. The difference in scores before and after colposcopy will be measured.

    Time frame: 10 minutes before and after colposcopy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Anxiety score after colposcopy

    Each women completes the state anxiety questionnaire (state-trait anxiety inventory \[STAI\]) 10 minutes after colposcopy.

    Time frame: 10 minutes before and after colposcopy

  2. Change in heart rate

    The difference in heart rate before and after colposcopy will be measured.

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  3. Pain during examination

    women scores their pain level using a horizontal 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (,no pain') to 10 (,worst imaginable pain').

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  4. Pain after examination

    women scores their pain level using a horizontal 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 (,no pain') to 10 (,worst imaginable pain').

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  5. general unpleasantness during examination

    women scores their feeeling during colposcopy using a horizontal 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 ("not at all unpleasant") to 10 ("extremely unpleasant").

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  6. Anxiety during examination

    women scores their anxiety during colposcopy using a horizontal 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 ("no anxiety at all") to 10 ("worst imaginable anxiety")

    Time frame: 10 minutes

  7. Overall Satisfaction

    women scores their satisfaction using a horizontal 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 ("maximally unsatisfied") to 10 ("maximally satisfied").
