  • Effective sensory information is crucial for patient preparedness and comfort.
  • A structured approach to developing patient information is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify women's sensory experiences during colposcopy.
  • To develop a model for creating effective sensory information for patients.
  • To validate a sensory information message for the colposcopy procedure.

Main Methods:

  • A four-stage survey design was employed.
  • Stages included procedure standardization, experience discovery, validation, and message writing.
  • Sixty women undergoing colposcopy participated in ambulatory clinics.

Main Results:

  • A validated sensory information message for colposcopy was successfully developed.
  • A model for creating sensory information was derived from the study process.
  • Validation interviews proved essential in refining the message.

Conclusions:

  • The developed model offers a step-by-step guide for nurses creating sensory messages.
  • Nurses should ensure the accuracy of prepared sensory messages for their specific practice settings.
  • This approach can be adapted for developing sensory information for other medical procedures.
