Developing Gynecological Examination Dress and Determining Its Effect on Perception of Privacy and Satisfaction: Randomized Controlled Trial

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.

The attitude of the health personnel before, during and after the examination and the positive examination experience of the person have an important effect on ensuring the continuity of the subsequent examination and increasing the quality of the service provided. With the examination suit, it will be ensured that the patient's bodily privacy is ensured from the moment of application, during diagnosis, treatment and care, the use of the same cover to protect the privacy of all patients during examination and intervention will be prevented to prevent infection transmission and the examination experience will be positively affected. Thus, the intense stress and embarrassment experienced by patients during the examination will be eliminated and will contribute to the maintenance of health through regular visits to health checks. In addition, meeting the privacy expectations of patients will ensure that they are satisfied with the health service they receive, thus increasing the quality of the health service provided. In order to ensure patient privacy, to protect and improve women's health and to provide convenience in gynecological examination, the gynecological examination garment to be used in the examination can be designed as disposable, perineum and thigh open for the examination to be performed. In order to protect privacy, extra parts can be used to ensure that the open parts remain closed outside the examination process. Properties of the fabric used in the examination garment;

• Grama: 32,07 g/m^2
• Explosion.: 135,77 kpç
• Detachment: Ȼ: 115NȺ: 120 N
• Air permeability: 1750
• Type of material: Polypropylene

The study was carried out as a post-test control group design from randomised controlled studies. The intervention group of the study was dressed in gynaecological examination clothes, while the control group used the drape given to the patient during the examination, which is a routine practice in the health institution where the study was conducted.
