Friends/Family in the Abortion Procedure Room (FAIR): Assessing Pain Level, Patient, Staff and Support Person Satisfaction With Support Person in Abortion Procedure Room: A Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Support Person Intervention for Anxiety and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 422 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to explore patient, support person, and health care providers' experience and satisfaction with social support in the abortion procedure room. Although some providers do allow a support person in the abortion procedure room, no study has formally examined the effects of this practice. If this study demonstrates higher patient satisfaction and lower perceptions of pain and anxiety levels in patients who have social support in the in-clinic abortion procedure room, this could change standard procedures in the in-clinic abortion procedure room, allowing for more positive patient experiences.
