Attorney advertising influences patient perceptions of pelvic mesh risks, but personal surgical history and urologist consultations are more impactful. Patient experiences significantly shape views on mesh benefits and risks.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Patient Perception Studies
  • Medical Marketing

Background:

  • Patient perceptions of medical devices like pelvic mesh are influenced by various factors.
  • Understanding these influences is crucial for informed patient decision-making and healthcare communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the comparative impact of attorney advertising versus personal medical history on patient perceptions of pelvic mesh.
  • To evaluate the influence of initial urology consultations on patient views regarding pelvic mesh.

Main Methods:

  • A survey of 170 female patients in urology offices measured perceptions of pelvic mesh benefits, risks, advertising exposure, attitudes, and knowledge.
  • Hierarchical linear regression models were employed to analyze the data.

Main Results:

  • A history of prior pelvic mesh surgery was the strongest predictor of both benefit and risk perceptions.
  • High exposure to attorney advertising correlated with increased risk perceptions but not benefit perceptions.
  • Previous urologist visits enhanced benefit perceptions without affecting risk perceptions.

Conclusions:

  • While attorney advertising impacts perceived risks of pelvic mesh, direct patient experience and professional medical consultations hold greater influence.
  • Healthcare providers should be aware of advertising's role and emphasize personal medical history and clinical discussions in patient counseling.
