To explore young women's preferences for contraceptive education to inform the development of an educational resource and to pilot test the resource with patients and clinicians.
We performed a mixed-methods study to elicit preferences for contraceptive educational resources among patients, develop an online resource, and pilot test the resource with clinicians and patients to assess feasibility, systems usability, and contraceptive knowledge.
Forty-one women aged 16-29 completed in-depth interviews: they preferred an online format which was recommended by a clinician, presented contraceptive methods in order of effectiveness, and contained information from experts and experiences from individual users. We adapted an existing website (bedsider.org) to create an online educational resource. Thirty clinicians and thirty patients completed surveys after use. System Usability Scale scores were high among patients (median [IQR]: 80 [72-86]) and clinicians (84 [75-90]). Patients answered more contraceptive knowledge questions correctly after interacting with the resource (9.9±2.7 vs 12.0±2.8, <0.001).
We developed a contraceptive educational resource incorporating end-user feedback that was highly usable and increased patients' contraceptive knowledge. Future research should assess effectiveness and scalability among a larger sample of patients.
This contraceptive educational resource can supplement clinician counseling to increase patient contraceptive knowledge.
探讨年轻女性对避孕教育的偏好,为教育资源的开发提供信息,并与患者和临床医生对该资源进行试点测试。
我们进行了一项混合方法研究,以了解患者对避孕教育资源的偏好,开发一个在线资源,并与临床医生和患者对该资源进行试点测试,以评估其可行性、系统可用性和避孕知识。
41名年龄在16 - 29岁的女性完成了深度访谈:她们更喜欢由临床医生推荐的在线形式,按有效性顺序介绍避孕方法,并包含专家信息和个人用户经验。我们对现有网站(bedsider.org)进行了改编,创建了一个在线教育资源。30名临床医生和30名患者在使用后完成了调查。患者(中位数[四分位间距]:80[72 - 86])和临床医生(84[75 - 90])的系统可用性量表得分较高。与该资源互动后,患者正确回答的避孕知识问题更多(9.9±2.7对12.0±2.8,<0.001)。
我们开发了一种纳入最终用户反馈的避孕教育资源,该资源具有高度可用性并增加了患者的避孕知识。未来的研究应评估在更大样本患者中的有效性和可扩展性。
这种避孕教育资源可以补充临床医生的咨询,以增加患者的避孕知识。
