Brief summary

Subjects with abnormal uterine bleeding and scheduled for dilatation and curettage (D&C) will be randomized to a multimedia-based education (MME group) or verbal information (Control group ) before (D&C). State-Trait Anxiety Inventory will be asked by the nursing staff before and after multimedia-based education or verbal information to all patients. Then the patients will undergo (D&C) at an office setting. The impact of MME on patient anxiety will be evaluated by statistical analysis.

Detailed description

Subjects with abnormal uterine bleeding and scheduled for dilatation and curettage (D&C) with diagnostic or treatment purpose will be randomized to two intervention arms. Multimedia-education Group (MME group) and verbal information group (Control Group). Both groups will receive State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before and after education and then will undergo D&C at an office setting. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory will be asked by the nursing staff. Multimedia-based education will be carried out using a 5 minutes video explaining the details of D&C. D&C will be carried out at office setting by an experienced gynecologist under sedation and analgesia.
