How well informed are women who undergo urodynamic testing?

Abstract:

AIMS:Urodynamic studies (UDS) are complex, invasive and may be emotionally and physically distressing. Inadequate information may heighten distress. Prior to UDS, our patients receive written and verbal information, yet concerns remains that some women may not be adequately informed. This study examined how informed women believe they are to undergo UDS in our clinic. METHODS:This was a before-after questionnaire-based study. Data were collected from a convenience sample of 200 women prior to UD testing, and within 3 days of completion. Participants rated their level of agreement/disagreement with the following statements: I understand why I am having the test; I have been given enough information about the test; I understand what the test will involve. Women also reported their perceived levels of distress (anxiety, embarrassment, and discomfort). RESULTS:One hundred fifty-one women returned both pre- and post-UD questionnaires. Most (88.9%) had read the information sheet and agreed that they understood the indications for the testing (78.1%). Fewer agreed that they understood what the tests would involve (68.2%), or that they had been given enough information about the test (64.9%). The overall distress score (anxiety, embarrassment, and discomfort) was 6 (IQR 5-7; possible range 3-9). CONCLUSIONS:Urodynamic testing remains an invasive yet prevalent form of urogynecological assessment. One-third of our patients may not understand what UD testing involves and may not feel adequately informed about the tests. Additional research to explore informational needs is important.
