Summary

This pilot study will assess the feasibility and acceptability of an educational workshop on pelvic floor disorders and its potential impact on decisional conflict.

Detailed description

Pelvic floor disorders can significantly affect a woman's quality of life, yet many feel uncomfortable openly discussing these topics. Treatments include lifestyle modification, medications, and/or surgery. "Decisional conflict" arises when patients have difficulty choosing between several viable treatment options. Factors contributing to decisional conflict include biased information, poor peer support, and unaddressed fears. Effective counselling may help address these factors. There are few studies on how decision coaching can help women with prolapse and incontinence reach a satisfactory decision about treatment. This study aims to use the principals of shared decision making to address decisional conflict surrounding treatment for pelvic floor disorders. Specifically, the investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of small group workshops on pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence led by a nurse continence advisor and a psychologist (decision coach). Results of this study will inform future development of interdisciplinary, patient-centered approaches to enhanced decision making in women's health.

Conditions

• Pelvic Floor Disorders
• Urinary Incontinence (UI)
• Pelvic Prolapse Conditions

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Workshop	The first 15 minutes will be an information session on either Urinary Incontinence (UI) or Pelvic Organ Prolapse (PO) led by a Nurse Continence Advisor. The following 60 minutes will comprise a psychologist-led group discussion. The structured discussion will encourage participants to share experiences, thoughts, and feelings on pelvic floor disorders. Resistances and barriers to seeking treatment will be discussed. Decision-making processes will be explored. During the final 15 minutes, participants will be asked to complete a survey to evaluate the workshop. The survey will assess satisfaction with the information provided, quality of group discussion, comfort level with the group experience, and their satisfaction with the roles of the nurse continence advisor and psychologist.
