Study Description

Brief Summary: To reduce the procedural pain of Pap smear, this study expects to apply the peak-end rule to Pap smear by prolonging the insertion of speculum after samples are obtained from the cervix. This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled study at a tertiary center, National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH). The investigators expect to compare the recalled pain intensity of the intervention and control groups.

Detailed Description: Purpose: In order to reduce the procedural pain, this study expects to apply the peak-end rule to Pap smear by prolonging the insertion of speculum after samples are obtained from the cervix. Methods: This study aims to conduct a randomized controlled study at NTUH. Approximately 200 subjects are expected to be recruited. The investigators will utilize the peak-end rule by adding a non-painful step right after the most uncomfortable phase in the intervention group. All study subjects are requested to score on a numeric pain scale during the Pap test. All operators experienced in techniques for performing a Pap test should attend workshops for a standard operating procedure. A well-trained research assistant is also responsible for ensuring standardization of procedures to eliminate interoperator variability. The primary outcome was the recalled pain intensity at five minutes after the Pap smear test.
