Postplacental Intrauterine Device Insertion: A Mixed Methods Assessment of Women's Experience

Completed

Conditions studied: Contraception

In brief

The primary objective of this mixed methods pilot study is to understand women's experiences with postplacental intrauterine device (IUD) insertion through postpartum semi-structured interviews. For secondary objectives, the investigators will collect visual analog scale (VAS) and verbal rating score (VRS) data on women's pain experienced just before and immediately after IUD insertion. The investigators will perform postpartum interviews in each group until we reach thematic saturation. The investigators will recruit at least 60 women (30 each in the epidural and no epidural group) from the University of New Mexico Hospital (UNMH) affiliated antenatal clinics to conduct our quantitative data analysis.
