Summary

Although intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a highly effective contraceptive method, fear of pain during insertion is one barrier to use. A review of literature reveals little investigation of interventions for anxiety management during the procedure. Furthermore, evidence of non-pharmacological interventions for both anxiety and pain management is limited. Music has been shown to be effective at reducing anxiety and pain in a variety of contexts, however to the investigators' knowledge, its effectiveness for anxiety and pain relief during the IUD insertion procedure has not been formally examined. This study will therefore examine the effectiveness of listening to music on anxiety and pain during IUD insertion.

Conditions

  • Anxiety Acute

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Music listening

Patients will be asked to either use their personal phones to listen to preferred music which is already on their device, or if they do not have a phone or other personal device capable of playing music of their choice, we will use a device (e.g. iPod) to load music of their choice. While in the waiting room, participants will listen to music through headphones/earphones, however they will need to remove their headphones/earphones during the initial consultation with the family physician (explaining risks, etc.), and resume listening to music through the phone speakers once in the examination room as patients will need to be able to hear instructions from the physician during the procedure.
