The results of four different studies clearly show that patients who are offered or able to try out a privacy cover at a gynaecological appointment experience a greater sense of comfort and security, both before and during the examination. The studies are summarized below.
A survey conducted by Kantar Sifo
A survey conducted by Kantar Sifo shows that most women associate the gynecological examination with words like uncomfortable or tense. Some women cancels their examination or avoids it completely since the examination is an intrusive experience for many women who feel exposed, emotional distress and lack of control. Many women testify that they have not been offered anything to cover themselves with on the lower body while they believe that the experience would be significantly better if there was such an opportunity. More than half of the women in the survey answered that they would use such protection cover if it existed. For more information about the studie please contact us.
