    Area of Science:

    • Medical Practice
    • Patient Experience
    • Gynecological Care

    Background:

    • Pelvic examinations are a routine part of women's healthcare.
    • Patient comfort and autonomy during examinations are crucial.
    • The role and preference for chaperones during pelvic exams require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess female patients' preferences for chaperones during pelvic examinations.
    • To identify demographic factors associated with the desire for a chaperone.
    • To understand patient acceptance of chaperones based on the examiner's familiarity.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted among 200 female patients at a health center.
    • Participants were asked about their willingness to have a chaperone present during pelvic examinations.

  • Factors such as patient age, prior examination history, and examiner familiarity were considered.

    • Main Results:

    • 75% of respondents expressed a desire for a chaperone during pelvic examinations.
    • Only 6% would accept a chaperone with their own doctor, compared to 17% with a different doctor.
    • Younger patients and those with no prior pelvic exams were significantly more likely to want a chaperone.

    Conclusions:

    • A majority of female patients prefer chaperones for pelvic examinations, particularly with unfamiliar practitioners.
    • Patient demographics, including age and examination history, influence chaperone preference.
    • These findings highlight the need to consider chaperone availability and patient preferences, especially for young women and in practices with trainee or locum general practitioners.
