Male physicians, those over 40, and those in practice longer than 10 years more frequently use chaperones during pelvic exams. Medical education significantly influences chaperone use in practice.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Medical Practice Management
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Chaperone use during pelvic examinations is a debated practice.
  • Understanding current practices is crucial for standardizing patient care and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe current practices of chaperone use during pelvic examinations among obstetrician/gynecologists.
  • To identify factors influencing chaperone use in clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was distributed to attending physicians in obstetrics and gynecology at a tertiary care teaching hospital.
  • Data collected included physician demographics, chaperone use during pelvic and breast examinations, and training history.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • 100% of surveyed physicians responded.
  • Male physicians used chaperones more frequently than female physicians for pelvic and breast examinations.
  • Physicians over 40, in practice longer than 10 years, and those trained to use chaperones were more likely to use them.

Conclusions:

  • Chaperone use during pelvic examinations is influenced by physician gender, age, years in practice, and prior medical education.
  • Specific training during medical school or residency impacts current chaperone use in private practice.
