Clinical Trial Summary

When participating in population-based screening for cervical cancer, women experience great anxiety during the weeks of waiting since they learn that they have an altered screening result until the colposcopy is performed. In this study we want to verify how anxiety decreases when the information is improved and an audiovisual support is added when giving it.


Clinical Trial Description

This study is designed as a double-blind clinical trial. Candidate patients for this study are women referred to a colposcopy consultation after an altered result of the screening test. Those women who have previously been in the colposcopy consultation or have had this test performed in a private center are excluded. The initial recruitment is done by telephone. If they accept, they are given an appointment at the hospital one day where, after being informed again and signing the informed consent, they are randomized and assigned a group. There are 2 groups, in one they receive an envelope with the information in writing that was created in Osakidetza and is available on the website of said organization, and the other group receives a sheet with the links to the videos created for this study in the same envelope. In this way, both groups assume that they are receiving information and we avoid bias. The principal investigator is the one who carries out this phase and distributes the envelopes, but is unaware of their contents. Previously, a collaborator fills in the envelopes according to the randomization code and indicates outside the envelope the order in which they should be delivered. Only she knows the randomization code and she will not reveal it until the end of the study. To analyze the level of anxiety, the participants will fill out 2 scales before receiving the information, and they will return them on the day of the colposcopy before performing it. The scales used are the Spielberger´s State-trait anxiety inventory (STAI) and the Cohen´s PerceivedStress Scale 14 (PSS14). The STAI scale has 40 items, scored from 0 (never) to 3 (very much) points. The final result can range between 0 and 60, higher scores are related to a higher level of anxiety. The PSS14 scale consists of 14 items with a five-point scale response format (0 is never and 4 is very often). The scale scores from 0 to 56; higher scores indicate higher perceived stress. It will also be analyzed whether the waiting time until the colposcopy and the level of academic studies influence the level of anxiety. And the perception of the colposcopy will be analyzed, with the VAS scale, according to their level of anxiety and the way they received the information. ;
