“…Counseling was able to reduce distress scores even in women undergoing mammography [28]. In contrast, some studies [29–31] did not reported a significant effect of patient education on anxiety in women before an invasive procedure. However, it could be argued that, in all the aforementioned trials, the psychological and educational intervention consisted only in information provided by videos or leaflets.…”

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is generally considered a stressful and painful procedure; we aimed to evaluate whether a single education and counseling intervention could reduce women's distress and pain after undergoing HSG for infertility. Patients were randomized into control group (n = 108) and intervention group (n = 109). All patients filled the following questionnaires before and after HSG: Zung self-rating anxiety scale (Z-SAS), Zung self-rating depression scale (Z-SDS), and an ad hoc questionnaire designed to evaluate HSG procedure knowledge. Pain was scored using a visual analog scale. The intervention consisted in a 45-minute individualised session 48 h before HSG. We observed a reduction of anxiety and depression scores in the intervention arm compared to the control group. After controlling for potential confounding variables, intervention was an independent predictor of the difference of Z-SAS score before and after HSG. This is the first randomised controlled trial to assess the potential effectiveness of a single education and counseling intervention to lower anxiety in a diagnostic setting.

“…Little research (Lind, Kopans, & Good, 1992) has examined women's preferences for communication of mammogram results. This is despite the fact that a fear of discovering breast cancer is a component of MAM-related distress (Mainiero, Schepps, Clements, & Bird, 2001) and may serve as a barrier for future MAM participation in some women (Donato et al, 1991;Lauver et al, 1997). No studies were found that examined the relationship between preference about MAM feedback and coping style, as defined by both screening distress and vigilance.…”

The purpose of this project was to determine the role of coping style in women's practice of breast and gynecological screening behaviors. Women were classified into one of four coping groups based on measures of vigilance and screening distress. Data were analyzed from a subset of 85 U.S. women who participated in a larger longitudinal study designed to examine self-reported screening participation. Results indicate frequency of screening participation and importance of obtaining immediate mammography feedback differed across coping style groups. Women characterized as high in vigilance and screening distress were most at risk for nonparticipation in screening.

“…While these recommendations do not explicitly refer to diagnostic tests, it seems reasonable that they should also apply to such tests. In addition to information being necessary for patient involvement in decision‐making, providing pre‐test or pre‐treatment information can help prepare patients 7 and reduce anxiety 8–11 …”

Objective To explore women's views on diagnostic breast test information and elicit their preferences for this information.Design In-depth, face-to-face interview.Setting and Participants Thirty-seven women who had previously participated in a population-based telephone survey. Main outcome measure Qualitative thematic analysis.Results Analysis of interview transcripts revealed information about: (1) the wide range of information participants wanted about diagnostic mammography; (2) general reactions to diagnostic breast test information, including positive and negative reactions, views of test accuracy information and perceived influences on information preferences; (3) preferences for information content and presentation including the need for written information, the meaning of statistical information, different views on a simple presentation style, and variation in preferences; and (4) women's understanding of diagnostic test results.Conclusion Women want a range of information about diagnostic mammography, which is relevant at different times in the decisionmaking and testing process. Many women have difficulty interpreting test results.
