Clinical Trial Summary

Pessary self-management is defined as the patient's ability to remove and reinsert their pessary themselves at home. Previous research has suggested that some women may prefer being able to remove and reinsert their pessary as they wish rather than wait for clinic appointments. At the moment, not enough is known about pessary self-management, particularly what makes someone more or less likely to try pessary self-management. The investigators would like to understand this better to try to help women overcome barriers they might face. This study aims to collect data via both questionnaires and interviews to explore willingness to self-manage a pessary. Using findings from the questionnaires and interviews, a group of women who use pessaries and healthcare professionals who provide pessary care will work together to develop a better way to support women to feel able and willing to manage their pessary in future.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Willingness to self-manage a pessary Women will be asked whether they are willing or not to self-manage a pessary for prolapse. This will be a binary yes, no or not sure answer. Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Age Full years since birth Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Pessary Type and size of pessary in situ Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Length of pessary management Total months pessary used for Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Comorbidities Free text data for participant to report diagnosed health conditionns Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Self-management experience The woman will be asked whether she has previously removed or inserted her pessary Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Self-management status The woman will be asked whether she is currently self-managing her pessary (defined as removing and inserting it independently in between clinic appointments) Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Ethnicity Ethnic groups in accordance with UK government agreed list of ethnicities Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Post code Post code at home address to determine deprivation of home address in accordance with UK government index of deprivation Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Education status Women will be asked to report their highest level of education Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
Secondary Female genital self-image score (FGSIS) Women will also be asked to complete the Female Genital Self-Image Scale (FGSIS-4), a reliable and validated 4-item questionnaire which measures women's attitude and beliefs about their genitals (Herbenick and Reece, 2010). Scores in the FGSIS-4 range between 4-16, with a mean score of 12 in a nationally representative population of over 2000 American women (Herbenick et al., 2011). Herbenick et al. (2011) have not determined a binary score for high and low FGSIS, however for the purpose of this study, a score of eight or less will indicate low FGSI, whereas more than eight will indicate high FGSI. To score eight or less, a participant must disagree with all four statements describing genital self-image therefore this is deemed to accurately represent FGSIS-4. Through study completion, an average of 1 appointment (1 day)
