Introduction
pelvic organ prolapse
VAGINA, UTERUS
Among women worldwide, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is a common problem and can have major effects on quality of life. POP is defined as the descent of the anterior vaginal wall, posterior vaginal wall, the uterus (cervix), or the apex of the vagina (vaginal vault after hysterectomy) [Decision making regarding treatment for POP is affected by many factors and can be challenging. Because no treatment option is superior, the current Dutch guideline recommends clinicians to discuss all treatment options with the patient [A decision aid (DA) is a way of facilitating SDM and can be helpful in clinical practice to support patient-centred care informed by the best evidence [To support SDM in women with symptomatic POP, an online DA for POP using a Delphi consensus procedure was developed. This DA provides patients with information on POP and contains value clarification exercises (VCEs) to provide insight in the values individuals attach to the consequences of the different treatment options. VCEs are known to decrease decisional conflict and values-incongruent choices [
