Exploring Factors Influencing Motivation and Success in Teaching Patients Pessary Self-Management: A Qualitative Study
This explorative qualitative study revealed the motivators and barriers to learning PSM. Our findings highlight the importance of addressing patients' concerns and providing adequate information. In doing so, it is important to create a supportive environment to increase patient engagement and confidence in managing their condition through PSM. These results can help to successfully implement PSM in future healthcare.
