Trial summary

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are common conditions that can have significant impacts on patients' quality of life and psychosocial well-being. It is well known that patients who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth are at risk of developing these conditions, either during pregnancy, postpartum, or later in life.

About this study

Official title: Pelvic Floor Disorder Education in the Prenatal Period, a Randomized Controlled Trial

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are common conditions that can have significant impacts on patients' quality of life and psychosocial well-being. It is well known that patients who have experienced pregnancy and childbirth are at risk of developing these conditions, either during pregnancy, postpartum, or later in life. However, many women are unaware of this predisposing risk factor. Additionally, overall knowledge of these conditions is low in both the general and obstetrics population.

Video education has been used in various fields with success in improving patient knowledge of specific topics and conditions. To the researchers' knowledge, no studies have evaluated this modality for educating obstetrics patients on PFDs. The aim of this study is to determine whether the use of an educational video will improve knowledge of PFDs compared to routine prenatal counseling, using a validated knowledge questionnaire.

Read the detailed description

Once verbal consent is obtained, participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the intervention (video education) or control group (routine prenatal visit only). Group assignments will be performed using computer-generated randomization. All participants will complete a paper questionnaire including basic demographic information, prior history of pelvic floor disorders, and current PFD symptoms. Participants assigned to the routine prenatal visit only will be instructed to complete the Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire (PIKQ). The PIKQ is a validated 24-item questionnaire designed to assess knowledge of PFDs, including two 12-item subscales on urinary incontinence (PIKQ-UI) and prolapse (PIKQ-POP).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Education VideoOther

    A 6.47-minute education video was created by the research group based on American Urogynecology Society (AUGS) and International Urogynecologic Association (IUGA) patient education pamphlets. Participants in the intervention group will be asked to watch this video after completing a baseline knowledge questionnaire of pelvic floor disorders.

Control GroupNo interventionControl participants will only complete the knowledge questionnaire in addition to a non-validated survey created by the investigators to collect demographic information as well as attitudes towards treatments of pelvic floor disorders.
Video GroupExperimentalThese participants will be administered the study intervention, which entails viewing an education video on pelvic floor disorders.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change in Prolapse and Incontinence Knowledge Questionnaire

    The questionnaire is divided into two separate 12-item subscales on urinary incontinence (PIKQ-UI) and prolapse (PIKQ-POP). Subscales from 0 to 12. Total scale from 0-24. A higher score indicates higher proficiency.

    Measured: Baseline, 1 day ( the time of enrollment) and at 6-8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Education Video in people with Pelvic Floor Disorders, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai at 1 site in United States.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05127512, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
