Summary

This pilot study seeks to analyze the impact of interventions based on behavioral economics theory (e.g., feedback and information) on episiotomy use.

Conditions

  • Episiotomy
  • Episiotomy Extended by Laceration
  • Episiotomy Infection
  • Episiotomy Wound

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Feedback and information

The healthcare professionals in the intervention arm will be exposed to feedback and information behavioral strategies. Namely, interns, residents, obstetricians/gynecologists, and nurses will receive written feedback about the episiotomy rates in the hospital each month during the study period. Moreover, at least two academic sessions will be designed to outline the indications, surgical technique, complications, and surgical ethics for the procedure (i.e., episiotomy). Likewise, each session will also include a patient testimonial about their experience during delivery and their follow-up when an episiotomy was performed. The feedback intervention will be provided for 2 months, and the feedback intervention + the information intervention will be provided for 2 additional months.
