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.
