Brief Summary

The attitude of the health personnel before, during and after the examination and the positive examination experience of the person have a significant impact on ensuring the continuity of the subsequent examination and increasing the quality of the service provided. The use of different clothes in the patient during the examination will ensure that the patient\'s physical privacy is ensured from the moment of application, during diagnosis and treatment, and that the examination experience will be positively affected by preventing the use of additional covers to protect the privacy of all patients during examination and intervention. This will contribute to the maintenance of health by eliminating the intense stress and embarrassment experienced by patients during the examination and ensuring that they regularly attend health checks. In addition, meeting the privacy expectations of the patients will ensure that they are satisfied with the health service they receive, thus increasing the quality of the health service provided.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Gynaecological examination gown

  In this study, women's satisfaction with the clothing developed will be evaluated with the Body Privacy in Gynecology and Obstetrics Scale. The scale is a five-point Likert-type scale with thirty-seven items consisting of "General Privacy", "Rights and Privacy", "Ethics and Privacy" and "Clinical Privacy" sub-dimensions. All of the statements in the dimensions are positive and the answers given to each item were summed by scoring between 1-5 and then the mean values were calculated for each item. It is understood that the higher the mean scores obtained from the scale, the more sensitive the participants are about privacy in the relevant area. The General Rights and Privacy Dimension of the scale consists of statements between items 1-9. Rights and privacy dimension consists of statements between items 10-14. Ethical rights and privacy dimension consists of statements between items 15-19. Clinical and privacy dimension consists of statements between items 20-37.
