Pain during IUD fitting
Zara r replied to PatientSafetyLearning Team's topic in Women's health
Hi there, I am really sorry to have undergone this experience. I hope you have those around you that you can gain support from. I understand the PSLH has provided some supprotive information, and if you ever wanted to be a part of my research I would be more than happy to be with you through the telling of this experience. Feel free to email me and we can always have a "pre" chat about it and see how you may feel taking part- Posted

Pain during IUD fitting
Zara r replied to PatientSafetyLearning Team's topic in Women's health
I hope you are okay with me posting this here, but I am a doctoral researcher within UWE for Counselling Psychology. I can see from this post back in 2011 there is still such little research available, though I know Sarbina (within the comments) has recently completed her research in people’s experiences of IUD fittings. When I experienced this last year, I found the lack of understanding and mental health support quite shocking. As a counselling psychologist in training with a background in sexual violence support, I wanted to explore the impacts of these potentially traumatic experiences and how both understanding of the trauma, and better mental health support could be vital. Vital in not only improving the experiences of people in the future but real support on the impacts of this trauma for those who have already been through it. I have also widened my scope to IUD fittings and smears, due to the lack of research in the latter. Do get in touch with me via email if you feel you may be interested. (Presently I have restrictions on the research for the experience to have happened in the last 2 years, but this may be open wider at a later stage) Email: [email protected] Take care
